Tips to finding roofing contractors in Peterborough ON

• Ask the handyman: Your best referrals for a roofing company will come from the handyman in your circle of friends and family members. Your community’s homebuilding industry is a closely knit one where everyone knows each other’s trade, business and work ethic. Your local home renovation store would also be able to guide you in the right direction as they most often than not deal with roofing contractors on a regular basis.
• Get to know the roofing contractor before the quote: Roofing contractors spend a majority of their time filtering calls from prospective clients looking for good quotes which leads roofing companies short on time and quick on their answers. Develop a rapport with a potential roofing contractor by asking them their qualifications and the projects they’ve taken on in the past. Clearly explain the details of your roofing project (metal roofing, leaks, roofing shingles replacement) to the roofing contractor before asking them a quote and they will be more inclined to explain in detail how they would resolve your roofing situation.
•  Background checks: Once you’ve settled on a list of potential roofing contractors, cross reference your list with the better business bureau, the roofing contractor’s professional references and their past clients. A successful roofing company will have a solid reputation and experience in the home building industry. A reputable roofing contractor should carry worker's compensation and general liability insurance. A roofing contractor that offers too good to be true rates usually doesn’t carry any type of insurance.
