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?
