When getting roof repair estimates, use this checklist:
Get three or more on-site estimates to compare. Beware of companies who recommend a full roof replacement when only repairs are needed.
Ask for references and to see a portfolio of their past work.
Ask for recommendations from family, friends, and neighbors.
Read their reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
Select a company that's been in business for five years or more.
Be careful with extremely low or high price quotes.
Ask for a clear written estimate and warranty.
Ensure the roofers are up to date with local building codes and permits.
Avoid large upfront payments. Instead, follow a payment schedule for large jobs.
