How to Find a Qualified Residential Roofing Contractor
It's just as true about residential roofing as any other repairs around your home: Hiring the right contractor for the job can mean the difference between a long-lasting roof and one that requires premature replacement. 

Understanding what to ask your roofing contractor during the vetting process will help you narrow down your options and highlight any red flags that the contractor doesn't have the experience to get the job done right. 

Start by contacting a few roofing contractors in the Greater St. Louis area, and keep this checklist of questions handy as you speak more with them. Compare these answers to hone in on your final choice – but remember that the cheapest estimate is not always the best. 

Do you comply with building codes? If your roofing contractor can't name building codes for your area, they probably don't follow them either. Make sure that you and they are familiar with local building codes, so your home is compliant.

What does your insurance policy cover? Ask contractors about how much insurance they carry, who the policy is with, and any other information that describes policy details. This insurance protects you as a homeowner from accidental damage incurred by the contractor.

Do you have references? A good residential roofing contractor will be able to offer both testimonials and portfolio examples. If their answer to this question is anything other than "of course", you should cross them off your list ASAP.


Which roofing materials do you use? Choosing the right roofing material for your home can help avoid unexpected maintenance costs and premature roof replacement. Also, the materials used must be top-quality to extend the life of your home's roof.


Do you offer a warranty? Warranties provide an additional layer of trust between you and your residential roofing contractor. It means they stand by their work and materials to live up to your expectations and their claims.


Do you offer a written estimate? A good roofing contractor will prepare the estimate based on the condition of your roof, the cost of replacement materials, and labor costs. You should run the other way if they don't offer a clear, detailed estimate in writing.


Can you repair weather-related damage? Once your new roof is installed, the best people to fix it are the contractors who put it in. Make sure the roofing team you're working with is capable of returning to repair your roof in case of weather damage.

Will you inspect my roof regularly? Regular roof inspections help contractors identify issues before they lead to severe damage. A good roofing contractor has the expertise to perform these interior and exterior inspections and offer actionable solutions for any problems found.


How's your customer service? Your roofing contractor shouldn't just disappear as soon as your roof is in place. You'll want to know that they're responsive and dependable when it's time to address any issues or come back for repairs or inspections.
