. The important thing to remember is that the lowest price isn't always the best! Properly vetting a roofing company is important. As one of the top roofing companies in our local area we have encountered a number homes with roof related issues and leaks caused from "fly by night" roofing companies.
Essentially a "fly by night" roofing company is someone who lacks knowledge and ability in the roofing trade but poses as a professional. They exploit the fact that budgets are important and will always undercut competition. What you must keep in mind is that a very cheap roofing price is always too good to be true. Here are a few good tips to follow when comparing your roofing estimate:
If the price is about half the cost of a previous quote you received this would be considered a red flag
How long have they been in business?
They say "don't judge a book by its cover" well when it comes to roofing its something to consider. How does this contractor present themselves? Do they overpromise? Lastly, question their knowledge. A good contractor will be educated and proud of what they do. They should bring some form of understanding to the table that will instill confidence.
What materials are they using?
To conclude, price is everything and everyone has a budget for their needs. But their is a reasonable margin that will differentiate between reputable companies quotes. The most important aspect is TRUST YOUR GUT!
