Anaheim Hills Roof Inspector for Residents
It’s always best to check companies out before using their products or service. For example, when looking and choosing among roofing companies in Orange County, make sure the company you select is permanent in their type of business. Also check and make sure they have a business license, telephone number, and any local references.
A good contractor knows that the best way to get new business is by letting their past customers give their opinion or feedback on the job they did for them.
Another idea is to ask your friends, family, and neighbors which company they used and which they thought did the job reasonably well for them.
If you want more information or references, check online for reviews. There are many sites like Yellowpages, Angie’s list, HomeAdvisor and Yelp that will cost you nothing or a few dollars to see the reviews of these companies. Usually, they are more detailed and also reliable than the Better Business Bureau profiles.
After you did your research, create a shortlist of contractors then narrow down that list by calling the business and asking the contractors for their license number and certificate of insurance. All contractors no matter which state they operate in, are required to obtain a business license and must have insurance coverage. A business license number can prove that the contractor is legally allowed to run. The insurance serves as a guarantee that if anything goes wrong, the contractor’s business is covered.
When getting an estimate of how much a job is, make sure to ask for a written quote for the material and labor costs together with the estimated total of the whole job. An excellent company provides a written contract, especially if additional charges are applied to the customer’s bill, so that there will be no surprises when the job is done.
Make sure all contracts, changes or additions to the job are documented and signed and that both you and the contractor have copies. Also, your contract should contain information about warranties or guarantees on the materials used and the work that was performed.
Keep this agreement in a safe place until your warranty expires if you would have a job redone or would pursue a legal action against the contractor.
It isn’t uncommon for a contractor to request money before they start a job to cover the cost of material, etc. If you are charged for anything, always ask for a receipt. Be cautious of the contractors who ask for you to pay the cost of the entire job upfront, as this is a big red flag for homeowners, especially if the contractor is from out-of-town.
