Questions to Ask Your Roofer Before Getting a New Roof

Before any major home improvement project like a roof replacement, it’s important to consult with your residential roofing contractor and hash out all the plan details before hammering in the first nail. Without a good plan, a project is more likely to fail, after all, and with roof replacements being one of the most expensive and complex construction work you’ll probably ever take on, you definitely do not want that to happen.

During your initial meeting, it’s easy to get carried away with plans and objectives. You can keep things a little bit more organized and give your consultation direction by remembering to ask these few questions from our roofing specialists at Fortenberry Roofing.

Should You Stay or Should You Go?

Getting a new roof is no small project. As such, it is definitely recommended that you don’t stay in your house while your residential roofing company is doing all their work. Additionally, you also don’t want to keep your pets in your home during this time. Staying out of the way of the contractors can help them finish their job faster. A good roofing budget should always include the expenses for a few days of accommodation while the work is in progress.

Will It Take a Long Time?

Many factors must be weighed to determine how long a roofing project will take. It usually depends on the scale of your project. Roofing a 2,000 sq.ft. home, for instance, can be as long as 1 to 3 days before completion. Moreover, the weather can also cause unforeseen delays that can add a day or two to your timeline.

How Much Will It Cost?

Getting an estimate for a roof replacement, even a rough one at that, can be difficult without an initial consultation. Final costs will depend mainly on the material you choose for your new roof, as well as the extent of the work your project will require. The best way to get the most value out of this huge project is to trust only reputable roofers to do the work for you.
