Presented by Finish Carpentry TV, this YouTube video discusses the two things not to say to a roofing contractor.
Whether it's repairs or a replacement, roofers are important to the safety and comfort of your home. Thus, you want to hire the most skilled contractors in your local area.
Never bring on anyone who isn't familiar with your neighborhood and region.
Generally, maintain a cordial attitude when you speak to these professionals. Don't laud over your roofing skills if all you've done is nailed in a tile or two. There's much more to a roof than its coverings. It also affects your eaves, gutters, fascia, and soffit.
Never say yes to everything offered by a roofing contractor. Prepare 10-15 questions to ask them during a consultation. Don't let them leave until they've answered the questions, or at least tell you they'll gather the information.
In the end, let the contract speak about their skills and what they do to create a solid roof for you. It increases the return on investment made for new installations or repairs.
