Calgary Roofing – Dos and Don'ts of Hiring a Contractor




If you’ve decided to hire a Calgary roofing contractor to install a new roof or repair your old one, then we hope you’ve chosen wisely.  Calgary roof repair and installation has its share of five-star providers and likewise, its share of dubious companies.  Here are some dos and dont's you may want to remember before beginning your search for a contractor.

DO choose an experienced contractor.  No offense against the “new kids in town”, but experienced Calgary roofing companies are less likely to mess up your roofing project than the newer ones.

DO choose a Calgary roofer that recognizes the value of prep work.  Preparation can save you a lot of money and ensure a better quality Calgary roofing project.

DO ask questions.  The more relevant questions you ask, the more likely for you to find a trustworthy and transparent contractor.  

DON’T choose the most affordable Calgary roofing companies you find.  As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.

Conversely, DON’T overspend on a company that can’t back up its promises.  To this end, you should have as many references as possible, and not just the people you know.

DON’T blindly select the first company you encounter in your search for a Calgary roofing provider.  Roofing in Calgary is not in any way a game of chance.

Finally, DON’T choose a company that doesn’t set reasonable expectations, or provides inconsistent answers to your pertinent questions.  Chances are you won’t be getting your money’s worth from such a roofing contractor in Calgary.
