Are you a Louisiana homeowner looking for a roofing company to repair or replace your roof? It’s easy to say, “CHOOSE ROOFING LOUISIANA,” and be done. But more importantly, we want to give you the tools so you don’t just choose whoever pops up when you search: “roofing company near me.”
We get it. There are many options available. Choosing the best roofing company near you can be a daunting task. In this blog post, we’ll provide you with
5 Tips to help you find a reliable roofing company near me (you, of course).
- Do a little digging. Your roof is too big of an investment to hand over to anyone. Do a little research. Nothing crazy. Start by asking friends, family, and neighbors for recommendations. Word of mouth is a great way to find a trustworthy roofing company that has a solid reputation in your community. NEED SOME MORE LOCAL PROOF? Check online reviews (BBB, yelp, google, FB, etc) to get a better idea of what level of service local roofing companies provide.
-SIDENOTE- Companies can purchase reviews, so find reviews with specifics. Names or specifics about the job are more credible. Third party verified sites are more credible. ALSO, see how far back the reviews go. It’s even better when you can trust a company that has been doing the right thing for a while
Just FYI: Roofing Louisiana has 337 verified Guild Quality Reviews (5star avg), 17 BBB reviews (4.9 avg), 49 Google Reviews (4.9 avg), 85 Facebook Reviews (4.8 avg)
2. Make sure to choose a roofing company that is licensed and insured. A reputable roofing company should be able to provide you with proof of their license and insurance coverage. This is important because it protects you as the homeowner in case of any accidents or damages that may occur during the roofing project.
-SIDENOTE- Take note of how much the company is insured. Cheaper policies have less coverage. Make sure you don’t end up with a bill if things go sideways.
Just FYI: ROOFING LOUISIANA is happy to show you our license and insurance papers. Just ask 😉
3. Choose a roofing company with expertise and experience. Whether you need a simple roof repair or a complete roof replacement, don’t just hire a handyman. Ask for examples of past work and references from satisfied customers to ensure you’re making the right choice. Reviews are helpful here too!
-SIDENOTE- Some established roofers or companies use subcontractors. Clarify. If that’s the case, ensure the subs are licensed, insured, and experienced.
Just FYI: Roofing Louisiana has been replacing and repairing roofs in the Lafayette-area for over 25 years.
4. When it comes to pricing, be wary of roofing companies that offer significantly lower prices than their competitors. We know. It’s tempting to choose the cheapest option, especially when you are facing a BIG bill. But keep in mind, quality workmanship and materials come at a cost. Look for a roofing company that provides a transparent estimate of the work which includes materials, labor, and any additional fees. A reputable roofing company should be upfront about their pricing.
Don’t just choose a roofing company “near me.” Choose the best.
-SIDENOTE- There are LOTS of ways that roofing contractors cut corners. Check out this blog post or download this pdf for more.
Just FYI: Roofing Louisiana offers free quotes, with no surprise fees. And… we replace full roof systems, to ensure warranties and make sure your investment lasts as long as possible.
5. Make sure you choose a roofing company that offers a warranty. Warranties provides you with peace of mind. Quality manufacturers stand behind their products with quality warranties. Quality roofing companies stand behind their work with quality warranties. These address any issues that may arise after the project is completed. Read warranties carefully to understand what is covered and for how long.
-SIDENOTE- Be careful. Even if a roofing company use products with great warranties, improper installation voids manufacturer warranties. That’s why Roofing Louisiana recommends choosing a roofer who not only uses products with warenties, but warranties their work as well.
Just FYI: Roofing Louisiana, as a Platinum Preferred Contractor, uses quality products with a range of warranties AND we offer a 10yr warranty on our labor.
In conclusion, choosing the best roofing company near me, shouldn’t just be a google search. It is a decision that requires careful consideration. By doing your research, checking for licensing and insurance, ensuring experience and expertise, reviewing pricing and warranties, you can find a reputable roofing company that will provide you with quality workmanship and peace of mind. So go ahead, search for the best roofing company near me, but then dig a little deeper to protect that big investment.
