What You Should Know About Roofing Reviews

Roofing Tips, , , , ,

Many people choose to read roofing reviews before selecting the company that they wish to work with. User reviews have quickly become one of the top methods that individuals use to research products and services online. There are many advantages to using this method to gain information. However, there are also a few drawbacks.

When roofing reviews are posted by legitimate consumers, they can be highly informative. Examples of information that you may be able to learn are: how fast the work was performed, if the prices were reasonable, and how professional the workers were. All of this information could easily factor into your decision as to which roofing company to choose.

The drawback to all online reviews would be that there simply is no way of knowing if the reviews are legitimate. There is a flaw in the system, and that would be that competitors could be posting false negative reviews. This type of slander marketing is actually quite common, and should be considered when you read negative reviews.

Though reviews can shed some light as to what to expect from each company, the true story can only come from contacting your local roofing specialist and requesting a quote. This will allow you to meet with a representative from the company in person, and will allow you to know if the price that is offered will fall within your budget. The process of obtaining a quote does not take long, and will help guide you to your final decision.

The combination of roofing reviews, the quote and meeting the roofing professionals should provide you with all of the information that you need to know about the companies that you are considering. At times, the service industry receives a bad rap. However, know that there are highly reputable roofing companies available to help you complete the important task of roof maintenance.

Roofing Tips, , , , , , ,

There are a number of aspects to consider before choosing a professional roofing service. While looking into hiring a roofing company, you should be sure of the quality services you desire by the company as not all companies are alike or do the same quality of work; make sure the company is knowledgeable and experienced in the work you are looking for. For added comfort, look the company up online. Check to see if there are any reviews or postings from their previous customers.

Your desired company must have a genuine presence with good reputation. They should be able to provide you with their phone number, location, and other authenticity documents you request. This information will ensure that they are not amateurs and have good background in this business. The longer the company has been around, the better reputation and more knowledge you can expect they would have. After all, if they are a poor performance and ill mannered company, the chances are they would have been out of business long ago.

Always make sure that the contractor is knowledgeable and has profound answers to the most commonly asked questions. Furthermore, he must be able to provide you convincing answers with great satisfaction. If he fails to so or doges the questions, you might need to get to someone else. If you don’t feel good about your conversation, chances are you are going to feel untrusting once they start your project.

Some companies often change their contractors due to various reasons. However, the professional roofing companies that are reputable do not do that at all. Instead they invest in reliable and long term team members to perform the roofing and other operations. This is because hiring inexperienced contractors could damage their reputation and their customers roof. There is another very important aspect that you should be looking into before deciding on the company related to professional roofing services. This is the insurance. It is your responsibility to make sure that the company you are using is legit and has a valid insurance policy. Insurance is essential to avoid the aftermaths of any unexpected event or incident that may take place due to the negligence of the contractors.

Roofing woes solved by a local company

A note from a customer of ours.

“Being a hometown boy and having spent most of my life in the area I was born in has definitely had its advantages for me, sure I have not run off in pursuit of a high flying career in some over crowded city far from the town I call home. You see I live in Newmarket and have done so for most of my life, it is very important for me to see those around me make an honest living. More often than not it is difficult to find service providers in or around our town as the current economic crisis has forced many of us to relocate. To put it bluntly the pool of available skilled and professional trades people in our town is slowly being siphoned off to better pastures.

All of this changed in my opinion recently, when out of the blue or town was engulfed by an almighty rainstorm! The likes of which i have not seen for many a year. Besides feeling truly grateful for the rain we received i was really surprised to see just how badly the roof of my home was in need of repair. At first I thought to get a professional company from Toronto to give me an estimate on the repairs and to be honest I did. The estimate was somewhat out of my current budget so in my arrogance I thought I had better see if perhaps I could get a better deal locally (because it was my belief at that time that it would by far be more expensive)

I called up our local company, Roof Pro Plus, and was sent over a really pleasant fellow, who showed up when he said he would, had all the necessary tools needed for the assessment of the work, and was able to quote a repair price right there and then!! I was amazed to say the least and even more so with the estimate and time required to complete the work. I gave the go ahead to the local chap and am very pleased with the service I received as well as the price I paid for the work that was done, so take it from me folks, GO LOCAL”

We thought it would be worth sharing his interesting story with you and maybe relate to his story.

About Your Soffit, Fascia & Eavestrough

Articles

The Soffit, Fascia and Eavestrough around your house all serve a different purpose, besides being aesthetically pleasing. Learn more about the soffit, fascia and eavestrough that is in your house!

Soffit

Soffit, or the underside of the eaves allows air flow (when vented) into the attic space of your home.

During the winter months the cold air is drawn in, pushing the warm air out through roof vents to help avoid the escalated melt off of snow. This helps reduce the odds of ice damming which could potentially cause a leak.

In the summer months this helps prevent a build up of extremely hot air in the attic, which can lead to premature deterioration of the shingles.

A wide variety of colours help to enhance the visual appearance of your home.

We can help assess whether there is adequate ventilation into your attic. Between the number of roof vents, whether the soffits are properly vented or whether additional insulation is required.

Fascia

Fascia is the flat horizontal band around the edge of the roof.

Sometimes, this is exposed wood which gets weathered and needs to be maintained (e.g. painted). by cladding the fascia board in aluminum, again with a variety of colour options, it becomes maintenance free.

Usually, but not always, the fascia and soffit are the same colour.

Eavestrough

The eavestrough and downpipes play a critical roll in moving water off your roof and away from your foundation when it rains. In the past few years 5″ eavestrough has become the standard from 4″. There is also 6″ eavestrough available on the market now.

There are three keys to a properly functioning eavestrough system:

  1. Proper slope
  2. Adequate number of downpipes
  3. Keeping the trough and pipes clear of debris.

At Roof Pro we install 5″ or 6″ seamless eavestrough systems with large square pipes and once again, in a wide variety of colour selection.

Contact Roof Pro Plus today with any questions about the soffit, fascia and eavestrough that is in your house!

Choosing a Roofing Contractor

When it comes to choosing the right roofing contractor, there are many things you should consider before making the final decision. Your roof is protecting one of your most valuable assets (your home), so it’s important to make the right choice when it comes time to repair or replace.

  1. Are they fully insured to protect you the homeowner in the event of accident?ie. ladder through window, etc.
  2. Are all their employees covered by a W.S.I.B. Certificate?If they’re not and someone falls off your roof, the onus then falls onto the homeowner.
  3. How long do they guarantee their work?Any professional roofing contractor should be offering at least a 10 year guarantee.
  4. How long have they been in business in your area?Will they still be around if problems arise in the future.
  5. Do they have an office or storefront?There are a lot of “Roofers” who operate their business out of a truck with a cellphone. A professional roofing contractor will have a storefront with a sign and will be easy to find!
  6. Do they use quality materials from a reputable supplier?The last place you want to use “cheaper” material to save a few dollars is on your roof, which protects your total investment inside your home.
  7. How long will it take to complete the job?Is a job that should take one day going to drag on for a week? Are they going to take 3 hour lunch breaks?
  8. Are they quick to respond to your call?If it takes three phone calls and two weeks for them to come look at your roof, what will happen if you have a problem down the road.
