Selecting a Roofer – Step 3

Whether you are looking for a new roof or a roof repair
3. Request the names and phone numbers of a contractor’s trade references and call them.

Call the suppliers of roofing materials with whom a contractor has worked. Identify yourself as someone who is considering hiring (blank) contractor and he gave the supplier’s name as a reference. The following is a list of questions you should ask the supplier:

• How long has the contractor done business with you?
• Do they pay their bills on time?
• What is their credit limit?
• What is their current balance?

2. Always ask for references and follow up by making calls to those listed.

You will gain valuable information by talking to other clients. Believe me, a building owner who has found a good roofer won’t mind telling you about him.

Run the other way if a roofing contractor is unable to produce at least ten references that highly recommend him.
