The Trade in Plain Terms

Roofers work with shingles, tile, metal and flat membranes, and not every roofer does every material, and the answer helps you narrow the field. The mix of work a company does affects what it is best at, so ask what fills their calendar, so match the roofer to the kind of work you need. Experience matters in this trade because roofs hide their problems under layers, and a steady crew is a good sign. A crew has a lead who directs the day, and the lead is the person to ask about progress, and the person who visits first may not be the person on the roof. A number of roofers run their own crews while others hire labor by the job, and both models can work well, so pick the arrangement that suits your needs.

Narrowing the Field Before You Call

Building supply counters, property managers and your own contacts are all useful sources, so make a short list of three or four to contact. Pay attention to how a roofer treats questions, because that is a preview of the whole job, and impressions on the phone tend to hold up. Neighbors who watched the work from their driveways often notice details the owner missed, and that is homework worth doing.

What to Put to Every Roofer

Ask how the roofer handles an unexpected find, such as rotted boards under the old covering, and write the answers down so you can compare them. Ask whether photographs will be taken of hidden areas as the work goes on, and compare the answers across your list. Ask how long the project should take if the weather cooperates and what happens if it does not, and the same questions should go to each roofer on your list. Continuity matters on a roof, so it is fair to ask who will be there from start to finish, and the best answers are short and clear.

Words on Paper Matter

Look for the covering named by type and color, the underlayment, the flashing and the vents, so ask about anything that is missing. A solid proposal gives a rough schedule, names the supervisor and explains the plan for bad weather, and ask for revisions if something is unclear. The condition of the deck, the plan for rotted boards and the way hidden damage is handled all belong in writing, and the tone of the document says something about the roofer. If two proposals differ a great deal, find out what one includes that the other leaves out, and the schedule on paper should match the schedule discussed.

Signals That a Roofer Is the Right Choice

Rushing, dodging and vagueness are the three habits that should make you cautious, so trust your sense of the conversation. Storm chasers arrive after bad weather with offers that expire quickly, and homeowners rarely benefit from the rush, and you can always say you need to think it over. Photographs of the problem, a clear sketch of the plan and a willingness to answer follow-up questions all point the right way, and good habits show up early. A willingness to put the plan on paper, answer questions twice and explain why they recommend a certain approach is reassuring, and it usually continues once the work starts.

Staying Informed While It Is Underway

A short planning talk the day before saves confusion on the morning the crew arrives, and the crew will appreciate clear access. Make sure sprinklers and security systems will not trip when the crew arrives, so the first day starts calmly. Give the crew room to work while staying easy to reach for questions, and a short daily conversation prevents most misunderstandings. Debris falls to the ground as the old roof comes off, and a tarp or trailer catches most of it, and the pace picks up near the end.

Timing Realities

Roofing is weather work, and a start date is a target rather than a promise carved in stone, and ask how the roofer communicates schedule changes. A flexible homeowner usually ends up with a smoother job than one who insists on a fixed date, and a day lost to weather is usually made up. A roofer who respects the weather will also respect your schedule and your property, so patience is part of the process. When roofers are in demand, a wait for a start date is normal and not a warning, and the roofer should not ask you to accept risk.

Final Walk-Through and Cleanup

Walk the property with the crew lead, look at the roof from several angles and ask about anything that looks unusual, and it is easier to ask on the day than weeks later. Check the rake edges, the ridge and the vent boots for neat, consistent work, and a tidy finish usually reflects tidy work underneath. Keep every document from the job in a folder where you can find it later, and that is how neighbors find good crews.
