2022 is a time to reset and renew and nothing screams new more than a new roof. How do you decide who to call? The team at Feazel will break it down for you to make the best decision for your home.

Find the best roofing contractor in with our handy guide. 

1. Are they a local roofing company?

This is very important. You want a local roofing company. How hard will it be to get the

roofers back to your home if they are from way out of town or another state? By working with a local roofing company, you know they are only a phone call away.

2. Roofer Reviews

Roofer reviews are important to you and to the roofing company. These are tell-tale 

signs of a good roofing contractor. 

3. Google local roofer reviews

Google roofer reviews are some of the best around. There is a reason that roofing companies hold them in high regard and that is because of the visibility Google provides. Everyone uses Google! 

4. Nextdoor reviews

Nextdoor is growing in importance. This is a great way to get the scoop from your neighbors on reputable roofing companies nearby or with who your neighbors have had great experiences. 

5. Facebook reviews

Roofer reviews on Facebook are reputable but don’t necessarily hold the same weight as a Google, BBB, or Angi. Facebook still offers some insight though so don’t discredit them.

6. BBB reviews tell a lot about the best roofers

The Better Business Bureau is an important review site for roofing companies. It shows that they are reputable and make sure that things are handled correctly if there was a problem.

7. Angi offers great review insights 

Angi has reviews from Verified Reviewers. These are actual customers getting review requests from the business. 

8. Do they install the type of roof you want or need?

This happens frequently. Are you looking for a shingle roofing company or another type? Are you open to options? There are different types of roof materials and you will want to call a roofer that offers what you’re interested in. Weigh the merits, cost, warranty and decide from there.

9. What kind of warranty are you getting with your new roof?

Consumers should seek a roof warranty. Things happen and roofs bear the brunt of bad weather and other potential mishaps. Remember, new roofs aren’t cheap, and having a warranty will let you rest easy at night.

10. Is your new roof warranty transferable?

Putting a new roof on your home gives great curb appeal. What about if you sell your home? Feazel offers a transferable warranty. Ask your sales rep for additional details!  

11. Can you finance your roof replacement?

Roof repair or replacement isn’t always cheap. Make it easy on your wallet and look for a roofer that offers to finance.

12. Find a roofer that works with insurance companies.

Finding and retaining a good roofer is like finding and staying with a doctor. They both will know what has been fixed, repaired, or replaced. A roofer that works with insurance will have all the important details about your job on file for any future issues with your roof.

13. What kind of community involvement does your roofer do?

Does your roofer walk the walk AND talk the talk? Find a roofer that is committed to causes to help underserved communities. 

14. What kind of service awards has your roofer earned?

Look at top-rated roofers and what they accomplish at places like Angi or Nextdoor or industry awards like roofer of the year. This is a clear indicator of homeowners getting quality work from a business that is passionate about delivering the highest level of customer service. 

15. Does your roofer offer additional services that you may need or want? 

It’s always nice to keep all home exterior projects with one company. That way, you don’t have to worry about the logistics of having one project delayed while the other is waiting with multiple companies. By having it all under one roof, homeowners can have one point person juggling all of the details. 

16. Is your roofer properly insured?

This is big for homeowners. Any service company for your home needs to have insurance. If they don’t and something happens, you may be on the hook! Protect yourself, your home, and your family, and choose a roofing company that is fully insured. 

17. How long have they been in business?

There is something comforting about a roofer that’s been repairing and replacing roofs for decades. They’ve seen it all and they know how to fix it!

18. What about a price match guarantee?

It’s nice to find a roofing company that will match a quote from another company that offers the same product. Feazel will match a competitor’s pricing for the same products. 

19. Are the roof inspections free?

Homeowners should not have to pay for a roof inspection. Don’t fall for a roofer that charges for an inspection. 

20. What is the roof inspection process like?

Homeowners should expect a thorough inspection of their roof system. This will look at gutters, ventilation, flashing, and more. Your roof is more than just shingles and some inferior parts may resemble failed shingles which makes it critically important that your roofer inspects your entire roofing system. Every Feazel 17-point inspection will address your roof system and provide insights into what’s working and what might need some TLC.

21. Does your roofer recycle old shingles?

A new roof is a necessity and it also produces waste. The great thing about shingles is that they can be recycled into asphalt for roadways. It takes up to 300 years for shingles to decompose. Don’t let your shingles take space for generations. 

22. Does your roofer have a clean-up plan? 

Getting a new roof installed can make a mess. The clean-up is as important as the install. Find a roofer that has a clean-up plan and make sure that the plan doesn’t include leaving a mess behind. Feazel has a game plan involving roll-away dumpsters to not gouge your driveway and all the way through a yard magnet to pick up any loose nails.
