Roofing Contractor Checklist
What to Look For When Hiring a Roofing Contractor
Use this checklist to make sure you are hiring a qualified, reputable roofing contractor for your project.
- How long has the contractor been in business? Most roofing contractors don't make it to their 5th anniversary.
- Do they carry liability insurance? McKay Sheet Metal & Roofing carries 5 Million in liability insurance.
- Do they carry WSIB (Workers' Compensation)? If not, you could be liable for injuries on your property.
- Do they operate year-round? If they disappear in winter, who handles warranty issues?
- Do they have local references? Ask for references from people in your area.
- Will they provide a written contract? Not just an estimate -- a detailed contract covering all work.
- Are they manufacturer certified? Certified installers can offer better warranties.
- Do they have a physical business location? Avoid fly-by-night operations.
