In a perfect world, roof replacements would be done quickly and easily, causing virtually no hassle or inconvenience. In real life, however, roof replacements can be overwhelming. It is crucial to manage your expectations when it comes to replacing your roof. This blog post from Expert Contracting will guide you through what goes on during a roof replacement.
Hiring a Contractor
Important projects such as a roof replacement will be successfully if completed by a reputable roofing contractor. You can hire a reliable roofer based on recommendations or on your own research. In any case, always double-check and validate the credentials of your potential contractor to avoid problems along the way.
Project Estimate
Your chosen roofing contractor will then inspect your current roof by taking the proper measurements, evaluating possible challenges and determining how to overcome these challenges. The estimate should include the estimated start date of the roof replacement as well as a computation of the project cost depending on the materials used. At this point, your roofing contractor should already be able to provide you with samples of roof replacement materials.
Note that some cost breakdowns don’t include charges for additional services, such as cleanup and dumpster rental. Some roofing companies offer free cleanups, but it’s still best to clarify these matters before the project begins.
Roof Replacement
Before proceeding with the project, you or your contractor should ensure the proper building permits have been obtained. The roof replacement can only start once those documents have been acquired. The building permit ensures the compliance of your newly installed roof to the building codes in the area. Failure to comply means your roofing contractor is inefficient and unreliable.
