How To Pick The Right Roofing Company
Your roof is one of your house’s most essential and vital components. Leaks in your roof can cause significant structural damage that can cost many thousands of dollars to repair. The repair on the roof can run well over one thousand dollars, and the cost to repair the damage that a leak caused can be massive.
Even more costly is having your repair done by a roofing company that lacks the necessary experience. Picking the wrong roofer can not only ensure that you, as the homeowner, are out the cost of the repairs themselves, but you’ll also be out all the money needed to repair the subsequent damage.
Consider these five aspects if you’re looking for the right roofing company in Charleston, SC.
Check For Proper Licensing
Every roofer in Carolina should have the licenses necessary to perform work. These licenses serve two purposes. First, they mean that the people performing the repairs have the skill set required, in theory, to complete the job successfully. Secondly, they are also necessary for the company to acquire insurance and other things to complete the job safely.
For example, Big Bear Roofing has GAF-certified roofers and SC licenses. We display both numbers prominently on our website so you can be confident that the services you receive comply with all necessary state and local laws.
Accredited With The BBB
Quality businesses will register with the BBB, so do not be afraid to let you see their ratings. This concept holds not just with the BBB but also with other review sites. Good roofing companies will welcome feedback because they know that most of it will be positive. Businesses that don’t want you to understand what previous clients have to say about them are the ones that usually have something to hide.
Again, at Big Bear Roofing, we link to our BBB accreditation so people can see it and learn more about us. We’re happy to have customers review our business because we know we’ll ensure all customers are pleased with our services.
Works With You For Your Insurance Claim, But Doesn’t Do It For You.
Some roofing companies will wrongly say that they can perform insurance magic. For example, they may say they can file your claim without paying a deductible. Or they might say they will handle your request with the insurance company.
Neither of those is possible. If the company performs those actions, it may violate federal or state law.
Big Bear will meet with your insurance adjuster and help guide you through the process, but we cannot handle the claim on your behalf. However, we have lots of experience dealing with insurance companies, and our involvement can help you ensure that your request doesn’t become stuck in the process or even outright denied. And yes, you will have to pay your deductible. The good news is that your rates won’t increase for most storm damage!
Empowers You To Make A Decision
Too much pressure is a bad sign when choosing roofing companies. You should run if a company turns up the heat to get you to commit to a significant repair. You want to feel like you can make an informed decision about what roof repairs you need. Repairing a roof can easily be a considerable investment, and you should feel free to evaluate it accordingly.
Our roofing company will happily send some roofers to inspect your roof and let you know what repairs you need. We’ll provide an estimate you are free to take or decline. Our prices and financing options are highly competitive (plus we have stellar ratings), so we’re hopeful you will choose us for your roofing needs!
Offers An Extensive Warranty
The roof repairs you make will be an investment that should last many years. Excellent-quality roofing doesn’t “go bad” overnight. A good roof can last ten years or more before you need more repairs. If your roofing company is confident in its work, it’ll also offer an extensive extended warranty!
Extended warranties quickly become expensive if companies do not perform quality work. If a business has to do each job twice (once the wrong way and once the right way, for free, because the person had the warranty), it would quickly find itself in trouble. That means that companies with extensive warranties must do the job correctly the first time!
Big Bear offers a lifetime warranty on all roof repairs and roof replacements. You can’t get any longer than a lifetime warranty! We’re incredibly confident in our roofers’ skills and willing to back our work for a long time.
