Reviews
Most people check reviews before purchasing a product or hiring a service, and the same should definitely hold true for your roof replacement. The Athens and Watkinsville, Ga areas are a small and close-knit communities that rely on high-quality home service companies. Online reviews are a great way to check up on the history of a roofing company. Reviews are a wonderful tool to assess the legitimacy of a professional company.
On top of reviews, ask your local roofing company to provide customer referrals. Speak with real customers and listen to their experience from contact to project completion. It never hurts to ask previous customers about the positive and negative experiences of their roofing project experience. This will help provide you with not only a realistic insight on what to expect, but also highlight what is fundamentally important to you about your home and personal experience.
-
Communication
Communication has always been important in business, but especially when you’re having your roof replaced. Presenting a detailed estimate and contract is an essential first step in this decision. After choosing the roofing company, continued updates help give you, the homeowner, peace of mind.
-
Materials
There is a saying,“someone can always do it cheaper”, which is especially true in the roofing industry. Choosing high-quality roof systems and not just “good shingles” is critical. Every manufacturer requires a complete roof system to be installed in a specific way to maintain the warranty. Make sure the company you hire to replace your roof understands the details of how the materials should be installed on your roof.
