Questions to Ask During a Roofing Consultation
Are you planning on getting a new roof for your Buffalo home? Consider booking a roofing consultation with a professional roofing company. Your roof is one of your home’s largest and most expensive assets, and it’s important to ask questions to educate yourself about the roof replacement process.
Here are three questions to ask during your consultation:
What information is on the contract
A standard roof replacement contract includes all essential information about the job, as well as payment terms. Before any work begins, make sure there’s a formal contract outlining specifics such as roofing materials, colors, and any additional work or repairs that will be completed. This ensures that both you and the roofing contractor are on the same page with what specifically needs to be completed.
How long will the job take
On average, full roof replacements take 1-3 days with optimal weather conditions. For large homes, the job typically takes at least 3 days and sometimes longer, depending on the expansiveness of the roof. However, there are factors that can prolong the process, such as materials and shingle types used for the replacement; steepness of the roof; and any structural damage requiring additional repairs. Based on your home and other factors, a roof replacement can ultimately vary between a single day and two weeks.
What precautions should be taken
Roofing replacements require the upmost adherence to safety by homeowners and any individuals living in the home. It’s important to speak with your roofing contractor about precautions that should be taken. Your roofer may instruct you to keep children or pets either inside or off the property during the duration of the project. They may also advise you to move any vehicles or outdoor furniture away from the work zone. Knowing these safety precautions will help you prepare accordingly for your roof replacement.
Remember, your roofing consultation is the ideal time to ask these kind of questions so you know what to expect!
