A roof repair contractor should come and inspect your roof thoroughly. Part of this inspection includes checking for:
a. damage
b. leaks
c. safety issues
d. energy efficiency
The contractor will need to take measurements and determine if any other materials are needed. Before the contractor can offer you a price, he or she will need to take measurements and determine if any other materials are needed.
The contractor will give you an estimate based on:
• Length, width and pitch of your roof
• The condition of your roof
• The type of shingles installed on your roof
• Any other types of flashing that may be present in areas where rain water can collect like valleys and chimneys.
Once you have given the contractor all of this information, they can give you an accurate estimate. Make sure that it includes labor costs as well as the supplies for your project. You should also check that the estimate is accurate and within your budget.
Finally, be sure to get a written contract with specific details about what is included in this quote and what additional charges may occur before or after completion of work on your property.
