4 Things Roofers Wish That Homeowners Knew

You’ve checked your roof, noted the warning signs, and are now about to call your local roofing contractor to work on its issues. But any roofing project, whether it is  gutter installation  or roof replacement, can be a complex process. That means covering a few essentials first. Patriot Roofing, your premier roofing company, shares some of them.

Two men are sitting at a table looking at a blueprint.
  1. Look for the necessary credentials . To ensure satisfactory results from your project, make sure to do a bit of checking beforehand. Find a roofing contractor that is licensed, bonded and insured. They should have the right experience to perform the work in a timely and efficient manner.
  1. Mutual trust is important . Both you and your choice of roofer will want the project to be as smooth as possible, so it’s crucial to establish mutual trust and respect from the get-go. It’s easy to lump all roofing contractors together based on a few negative reviews online, but most are committed to delivering the best results, have worked to obtain stringent trade certifications and have built a good presence in the community. With contractor-homeowner rapport, you can ensure a stress-free  roof repair  or replacement from start to finish.
  1. Schedule professional roof maintenance . Your roof protects your home from serious weather damage, and you’ll want it to continue doing so for a long time. That’s why investing in a professional roof maintenance plan is crucial. It helps prevent roofing issues from forming, allowing for reliable, longer-lasting weather performance. It also saves you from frequent repair work or even premature roof replacement.
  1. Know when you need a complete roof replacement.  Curled shingles, damaged flashing, a rotting roof deck—these are only some of the warning signs that should indicate a prompt roof replacement. When your roofing contractor suggests you get have new  roofing  installed, they are not trying to create extra work for themselves. They are only concerned for your safety and the serious damage an old and failing roof can lead to.
