PATRIOT ROOFING FAQS

Helpful Hints in Selecting a Roofing Contractor

Make sure that your contractor has a C-39 Roofing License, and ask to see a copy.
Verify that he/she carries General Liability Insurance to protect your home and neighbors, and ask to see a copy of their certification.
Verify that he/she currently has Worker’s Compensation and ask to see a copy of the policy. This will protect you against any employee injury lawsuits. If your roofing contractor does not carry Worker’s Compensation, you may notice that the estimate is considerably less in price.
Make sure the roofing contractor is bonded and ask to see a copy.
Make sure the roofing contractor is highly qualified in installing your product.
Ask to see a list of references. If the contractor is reputable, he/she should have them on file and be able to provide them immediately.
Make sure your contractor has a local city business license on file prior to starting your job.
In order to be free of any liens, make sure your roofer offers you a material and labor lien release before final payment.
Make sure all proper permits are pulled before the work is started.
Upon final payment, you should receive a manufacturer’s warranty signed, dated and authorized from the roofing contractor.
To ensure timely installation, make sure your job is properly scheduled.
To ensure the highest quality of work, ask who will be supervising the job daily.
Make sure the contracts are legal and state your rights and the contractor’s rights. The contracts should also specify materials, length of warranty, and what it covers.
