It’s always an inconvenience when it’s time to repair or replace a damaged roof. As such, you must hire a professional contractor to assist you with your roofing needs. But before you conduct plans with them, you have to make sure that your budget will be well-spent.
Diamond Roofing Specialists, Inc. provides quality services when it comes to roof repair or replacement guidance. In this post, we will discuss what you can expect in a proper estimate for your roof renovation.
When you hire a roofing company, the first thing you have to make sure of is that they have the proper credentials. They should include the company name, address, phone number, and email address in the estimate. These details are important, so you have a way to contact them if you have any questions about the estimate.
The insurance and licenses are additional things to look out for in the estimate. You also have to check if the estimate includes the types of warranties and guarantees the company offers. This information can help determine if the company is legitimate and qualified. If they are lacking any of the mentioned factors, don’t consider them for the job.
The proper estimate should also include the cost of the materials to be used in the construction. Any products and materials that you will need for the repair or replacement should be listed, from the shingles and gutters to the type of waterproofing sealant. If you notice that the estimate left out an important detail, it’s best to bring it up to your contractor for clarification.
Aside from the materials, the estimate should also take in the cost of service. If you’re not sure of the ideal cost, you can make comparisons to come up with the most suitable price. This part should include the cost of the essential details of the roofing construction, such as tearing off the old roof, installation, underlayment, cleanup and dump fees, and many more.
The start and completion date of the renovation is also a requirement in your estimate. The time of completion will also give you an idea of how fast the contractor can finish the job. An experienced professional should be able to complete the job on time or even earlier. These days, many roof estimates also include the date that the quote was created. If the estimate is six months old, you may need a new version as the first one may be outdated at this point.
Additionally, the estimate should be specific when it comes to the actual work. Make sure that there is a section that covers the workmanship guarantees and cleanup expectations, much like in the total cost. This is to ensure that both parties understand the services that will be implemented.
