Roof replacement is one of the most important home improvements you’ll ever do, so finding the right roofer for the job is important. Once you get the chance to sit down with a prospective roofing contractor, ask them the following questions:
Do You Have a Roofing Contractor License?
Hypothetically speaking, if you can ask your prospective contractor only one question, you should ask this. A valid contractor’s license is your assurance that the roof installation will comply with all applicable building codes and that permits and other paperwork will all be set before installation begins. Our contractor registration number in the State of New Jersey is published at the bottom of every page on our website, which you can verify at your convenience.
Do You Have Valid Insurance?
Legitimate roofing contractors should have no problems providing upon request a copy of their insurance certificate. As with the license information, you should call the insurance provider indicated on the certificate and verify its legitimacy. The insurance certificate should clearly indicate that it includes coverage for general liability insurance and workers’ compensation; the former covers accidental property damage while the latter covers worksite injuries. Having both is your assurance that you won’t be held liable in the event that either happens.
Do You Have a Place of Business?
A contractor with an actual physical location that you can go to inspires confidence; you know that this contractor is in town and won’t run out on you in case of installation errors or other similar issues. As a family-owned business, we at Nuss Construction have been helping Southern New Jersey homeowners build the home of their dreams for over 50 years.
Do You Have References?
The best way to check the quality of a particular contractor’s work is through their past clients. Legitimate contractors will have no problems providing at least three recent references, which we recommend you take the time to call or maybe even visit, if possible.
