Roofing Contactor Checklist for Hiring a Roofing Contractor in Dayton:

  1. “Backed” by the manufacturer certifications have nothing to do with “quality.” These certifications are handed out based on how many shingles the roofing company purchases from the manufacturer. If they buy a lot of shingles, the manufacturer offers them this bragging right. Again, “quantity” does not mean quality.
  2. Are they licensed and bonded?
  3. Are they willing to provide references? Can you speak directly with the references?
  4. What is the fine print in the warranties they offer? There’s always a catch with warranties. Make sure they are transparent with you.
  5. Do they follow the necessary OSHA safety guidelines when installing your roof?
  6. Do they take down payments or do you pay at the end of the job when your 100% satisfied?
  7. Can they answer your technical questions regarding code and manufacturer specifications? What is step flash and where is it installed? What is a cricket and the required sizes? What type of roofing underlayment is used? Are the underlayments approved by the manufacturer? How long has their installation crew been with them? Can they prove all of this?

Does the roofing contractor have a full-time salaried project manager and quality control staff?

in Do they have a quality control manager? Do they have a project manager?

This is also very important to check when considering a reliable roofing contractor. Do they have a full time, salaried, installation expert, project manager, and quality control employee? Or, does the salesperson selling you the job “quality check” the work once complete? If this is stated by a salesperson, it is a red flag.

To become a roofing expert, for all of the various types of asphalt roofing products, metal roofing products, composite roofing products, and flat roofing products, it takes years of experience and hands on installation experience. Does the salesperson have experience with installation, and can you ask them the technical roofing questions? The salesperson is paid for your job once it is sold. They are not paid to make sure the installation is completed according to manufacturer specifications, if they even know what the specifications are. 

This of course is not true of every salesperson, but it is something to consider when asking them questions. Do they have a full-time, salaried, project and quality control check manager? If so, can they prove it? If they can, this may definitely be a roofing company worth considering for your roofing project.
