Your home is one of your biggest investments, and when it’s time for a new roof, choosing the right contractor makes all the difference. With so many options available, how do you know which roofing company is best for your home? Asking the right questions before hiring a roofing contractor can save you time, money, and potential headaches.
At J. Alexander Roofing, we believe in transparency and integrity, so we’re sharing the top five questions every homeowner should ask before signing a contract.
1. Are You Licensed and Insured?
Before anything else, ask if your roofing contractor is licensed and insured.
A professional roofing company should have:
✔ A valid business license to operate in your area
✔ General liability insurance to protect your property
✔ Workers’ compensation insurance to cover their team in case of an accident
Hiring an unlicensed or uninsured contractor puts you at serious financial risk. If something goes wrong, you could be liable for damages or injuries. At J. Alexander Roofing, we proudly carry all necessary licenses and insurance, giving you peace of mind throughout your roofing project.
