So you've made the choice to install a metal roof; good choice! Metal roofs are proven to last over 30 years without a lot of maintenance according to WBDG, making them a great choice for roofing material. Now you have to hire a metal roofer, but how can you know you are hiring the right metal roofer for your job? Ask them lots of questions. Here are some popular questions you can ask a metal roofer to make sure you get the highest quality job possible.

Are You Licensed?

You might think that any metal roofer is licensed, but that is not the case. There are many people out there that will call themselves an expert without actually being one. Being licensed means they have gone through the proper training to be able to perform the job and also would be able to pull any necessary permits for the job. To make sure you get good quality work, you want to hire a licensed roofer.

Are Your Insured?

This question skips most homeowners' minds because well why wouldn't a roofing company be insured? But many companies are not. If a roofer gets injured during your project or there is damage done to your home or property and the company is not insured, it will fall on your homeowners' insurance and could even cause your homeowners' insurance policy to drop you. You can avoid all of these headaches by hiring an insured metal roofing service so if anything goes wrong, their insurance will cover it.

Do You Provide a Warranty?

This is an important question to ask because the roofer's warranty is different from the metal panel's warranty. When roofing companies offer warranties, it is usually a workmanship warranty. This means if you experience any problems caused by the roofer's installation, they will come back free of charge to do repairs. You want to make sure that if you have any problems you can get them taken care of, so you should always make sure the company you hire offers a workmanship warranty.
