Do you know that some roofing companies charge less because they don't carry workers' compensation insurance?

Unfortunately, what you don't know can hurt you. Some contractors will charge you just a fraction less than their competitors by passing on tremendous risk and liability. The problem is, if they get hurt on the job they will rely on your Home Owners' Insurance to shoulder their bills. As a result, your roofing-savings are lost to a lifetime of raised insurance premiums. Worse yet, the contractor could find reason to sue you.

The most critical factor in having a successful contracting project is selecting the right contractor.

We understand that homeowners have a variety of concerns when seeking out a company to work with. These are called the 4 P’s of Owner Protection:

Problems – What are the problems that are causing the need for construction?

Products – What products and procedures solve those problems?

People – Who is the contractor to install the products and how do you qualify them?

Price – How do you determine if the price quoted is fair and competitive?

We suggest that you evaluate each of these components with equal emphasis. You want to select a contractor that can work to your expectations. The contractor that you choose to work with should satisfy your expectations and needs in all four areas. By focusing on problems, products, people, or price alone you may find yourself with big problems in another area down the road.

But remember, not all problems may be visible, so it is best to have an inspection done when you think your roof may be reaching the end of its serviceable life.

Ventilation – Proper ventilation is important in any roofing system, moving hot air outside of the attic and keeping moisture to a minimum during the winter months. If you have noticed a swelling in the roof deck, mold or mildew in your attic or ice dams during the winter months, then you may have a ventilation problem that needs to be addressed.
