The Typical Process of Buying Roofing Just Can’t Be Trusted

Here Are the 3 Biggest Reasons Why…

Typically, many roofing company representatives will simply stand on the sidewalk and take very rough measurements of your roof to give you an estimate. Some are more sophisticated and use Google Map’s satellite picture of your home to get measurements, while others may actually walk on the roof to take measurements.
However, this superficial process is simply not accurate enough to rectify specific issues that you may be having with your roof. If you are simply replacing your roof for esthetic purposes, it may work. However, if you are looking to solve a specific problem or problems, simple measurements won’t do. Here’s why…

Many Roofing Problems Aren’t Caused by Your Roof; They’re Caused by Your Attic

The most misunderstood and overlooked component of the roofing system is not the roof itself; it is the home attic ventilation system. Most homeowners aren’t aware that when you’re experiencing problems with your roof, the attic is one of the first places you should check for signs of a problem.

Beware that if a roofing company simply takes measurements of your roof to provide you with an estimate, you may end up with a new roof and a lighter bank account, but the same problem still remains.

Many roofing company / roofing contractor sales representatives are simply are focused on selling you a new roof and not focused on helping you to solve your roofing problems. Re-roof projects are the most profitable projects for roofing companies. However, many roofing problems aren’t caused by your roof.
It takes a tremendous amount of knowledge, time, and effort to properly diagnose the true cause of your roofing issues. It is significantly easier to simply suggest a new roofing product.

Beware of companies that immediately try to sell you new roofing products before taking the time to actually do a thorough inspection of your roof, attic, and overall roofing system. If the roofing company that you are considering simply takes measurements of your roof and doesn’t conduct a thorough inspection of every square inch of your roof and your attic’s interior, you risk being sold something that you don’t need, and more importantly, something that won’t solve your roofing issues.

The typical estimates, proposals, and contracts that you receive from roofing contractors are generally very vague. They are often single page sheets with hand written line items that lack specificity. Unfortunately, this practice benefits the roofing company only and is very detrimental to the homeowner.

One of the most common problems homeowners experience after signing a contract are change orders. This is something that is easy for dishonest companies to take advantage of because there is so little detail defined in the original contract. Without specifying the exact products that will be used, many companies will add on hidden costs, extra labor, and different products that can double the original price that was quoted. Since the contract has already been signed, homeowners don’t have a lot of options but to go along with it to try to finish their project. Although it is a common problem, it is also easily preventable when you educate yourself.

There is no such thing as having too much detail in the scope of work with roofing projects. The more details are discussed and written down, the more protection you have as the homeowner.

You are in complete control until the contract is signed, so ask many questions about the specific products that will be used, different price options, the installation method that will be used, as well as the expectations you may have for the project. Any honest contractor will be happy to provide such details and will provide a thorough and specific contract to make sure your expectations are met.
