If you stay in an area that's prone to stormy weather, you may notice out-of-state roofers coming in, especially after a major storm, to fix damaged roofs. They'll convince you to use their services instead of hiring a local roofer. However, this video will advise on why it's better to work with a local roofer.
If your roof has suffered damage due to bad weather, an out-of-state roofer will claim the local roofers won't be able to manage all the damaged roofs in the area. They're out-of-state- if their license plate numbers or contact numbers are different.

But in an area that has extreme weather conditions, there may not be a shortage of local roofers.
A local roofer will have a good knowledge of the material that's most suitable for your area. They'll also be quickly available if there are any warranty issues or emergency problems with your roof. You can also get friends and family to recommend roofers they've used before.
Local roofers will strive to maintain their reputation and provide personalized care when it comes to repairing your roof. Liaise with two or three local roofers, so that in case of an emergency, they are readily available to fix your roof.
