Qualify Your Tacoma Roofing Contractors Before You Hire Them!

Contractors are notorious for flaking out on their customers. Seattle, Tacoma and Puyallup roofing contractors rank right up there with the top percentile of injuries and on the job flakiness, for a lack of better terms. In fact imposter roofing contractors have made quite the name for themselves. Now for legitimate businesses that operate with integrity this can be a stumbling block or a stepping stone. Sure, we have to break down the prejudice of being “one of those roofing contractors” when we first come into a home, but its not hard to knock down the walls of defense if you can present your legitimacy as a licensed, bonded, and insured roofing contractor.

Working in Puyallup, Tacoma, Seattle and the surrounding cities you see a lot and hear a lot of stories when it comes to the roofing industry. Horrible installs, a roofer who has messed up the job and taken flight, and worst of all a home owner that tries to file a warranty claim only to find out that the business has closed its door’s (like 80% of all Seattle, Tacoma and Puyallup roofing businesses in the first year ) and there is no longer a responsible party.

You can save your selves a lot of trouble by qualifying your contractor. In the article “How to safely hire a roofing contractor” you will learn the important credentials of a legitimate business, and be able to make a safe hiring choice. Don’t get tricked by a smooth talking salesmen who cant prove who he is. If he has the beef, he should be able to provide the proof. Going with low Joe for bid pricing usually amounts to serious trouble as well. The chances are if their bid is 5K less than everyone they missed something, or they are operating illegally and can’t protect you, or guarantee their work, so they give you a great deal to hire them. Not so great.

Another great source of biased information can be found in review listings and social media platforms such as Google Places, Yelp,  Facebook and Google Plus. Your contractor should have an online presence with at least a few reviews to prove their workmanship. Here is a, check out what our customers are saying.
