Hail, wind, lightning. You’ve seen it all this spring and know it only takes one storm to damage your home. If you’re looking for repairs, following a few recommendations may spare you a lot of frustration.
Please consider the following tips:
- Do not sign a contract with a roofing contractor immediately after an inspection, even if the inspection is free. Research and get multiple quotes.
- Use local resources to find a qualified and reputable licensed roofing contractor. Visit the Colorado Roofing Association’s website.
- Search the roofing contractor you are interested in on the Colorado Secretary of State website to see how long they have been in business.
- Check for Google or Yelp reviews online.
- Check with your local building department to see if a contractor is registered and licensed to work in the jurisdiction and if there are any formal complaints. Visit our webpage if you live in unincorporated Douglas County,
- Be cautious if the contractor says anything about “covering your deductible” or if they request a down payment before work begins.
Hail season is just getting started, so if your roof does need to be replaced, consider waiting until fall if possible, so your new roof doesn’t get damaged again before hail season is over. If your roof is leaking, it may be possible to have the leak repaired prior to replacement.
