Hiring a Roofer
When it comes to hiring a roofer, choosing the right professional for the job is crucial. Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, protecting it from the elements and keeping your family safe. But with so many roofing companies out there, how do you ensure you're making the right choice?
At Barnabas Roofing, we believe in transparency and quality service. Here’s what you should consider when hiring a roofer:
1. Experience Matters
A well-established roofing company with years of experience is more likely to deliver high-quality results. An experienced roofer has worked on various roofing types and knows how to handle different challenges effectively. Always ask how long they’ve been in the business and request examples of past projects. Barnabas Roofing has a wealth of industry experience with over 10 years in the industry.
2. Proper Insurance
Roofing is a high-risk job, so it's essential to hire a company with public liability insurance and employer's liability insurance. This protects you from being held financially responsible in case of accidents or damage during the job. Always ask for proof of insurance before signing a contract. You can be assured that Barnabas Roofing carries all the necessary insurance policies to carry out your roofing work.
3. Verified Address & Local Presence
A legitimate roofing company should have a physical address where you can visit or reach them if needed. Be wary of businesses that only provide a phone number or operate out of a P.O. Box. A local roofer also understands the weather conditions in your area and can recommend the best materials for your roof.
4. Upfront Quotes & No Hidden Costs
A reputable roofer should provide you with a detailed and transparent quote before starting the work. This quote should include material costs, labour, and any additional fees. Avoid companies that hesitate to give a written estimate or add unexpected costs later. Barnabas Roofing will always provide a FREE written quotation prior to work commencing.
5. Reviews from Local Customers
Reading customer reviews and testimonials is a great way to gauge a roofer’s reputation. Look for companies with consistently high ratings on Google and Facebook. Happy customers are a strong sign of reliable service. Barnabas Roofing are proud to have 5 star rated service.
6. Expert Advice on Suitable Materials
A professional roofer will not only install your roof but also guide you in selecting the best materials for durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetics. Whether it's asphalt, metal roofing, or tiles, they should help you choose materials that suit your home’s needs and budget. Our team are happy to guide you every step of the way.
7. Google Guarantee
The Google Guarantee badge is a sign of trustworthiness. Roofers who are Google Guaranteed have passed background checks and meet strict quality standards. If you're looking for an extra layer of confidence, check if the company has this certification. Barnabas Roofing are proud to hold a Google Guarantee badge.
8. Strong Online Presence
A professional roofer should have a website and active social media pages. Their website should include information about their services, past projects, and contact details. A strong online presence also indicates that the company is transparent and committed to customer service.
9. A Registered and Licensed Company
Make sure the roofing company is registered and licensed to operate in your area. This ensures they comply with local building codes and industry regulations.
Conclusion
Hiring the right roofer requires careful research, but considering these factors can save you from costly mistakes. At Barnabas Roofing, we take pride in offering high-quality roofing services with full transparency, proper insurance, and a strong local reputation.
