Calgary Roofing – Talk to the Company Before Hiring Them!



Many people who look for Calgary roofing contractors neglect to make the necessary background checks, if you may.  They see a colorful ad, well-designed website or catchy radio or TV ad, and hire the contractor, no questions asked.  Unfortunately, they end up regretting their decision to hire the company – sometimes the bill’s too high, sometimes the job took too long to complete (yet appeared rushed), sometimes there were poor work practices observed, sometimes all of the above.  

And it’s all because the poor clients failed to check the Calgary roofing company’s credibility.  They felt that interviewing the company was too much hassle, too much of an investment in time, something not worth taking time off from a busy schedule.  When talking of roofing in Calgary, it is very important that you do your research.  If not, you’ll be left with a half-baked job and/or a small fortune to pay for.  

Ask the contractor everything you feel is important. If you don’t know what these things are, we’ll get you started.  Does the company have worker insurance?  How long have they been in the business?  Any referrals?  (You’ll have to speak to those referrals afterwards – to be sure the Calgary roofing company is telling the truth.)  What are your options should something go awry in the roofing process?  Any additional costs that could be incurred?  The list could go on, but those questions definitely have to be asked.  Don’t be left with a case of buyer’s remorse – don’t be shy to quiz those contractors!

  1. Thanks for the post. This is all too true. I had an issue with roofing contractors in Calgary not too long ago which resulted in my project being delayed for a client and I almost took a loss on the project. Doing some simple credibility checks is well worth the time. Thanks again.

  3. Thank you for this article. I agree that when we are looking for a roofer in Calgary we need to make sure that we can trust them and maybe even talk to people who have had work done by them, just to make sure that we are going with the right roofer.
