Before you call a roofer
Know the signs
Curling or missing shingles, granules in the gutters, water stains on ceilings and daylight in the attic all point to a roof that needs attention.
Storm damage may be covered
Homeowner policies often pay for hail and wind damage. Photograph the damage and check your policy before signing anything.
Get more than one quote
Prices for the same job vary between companies. Compare the same materials and scope of work, not just the total.
Ask the right questions
Ask about the warranty on labor and materials, who pulls the permit, how long the job takes and how they protect your yard.
Watch for storm chasers
Be wary of door-knockers who ask for full payment up front or pressure you to sign the same day.
