Benefits of Hiring a Licensed Professional Roof Repair Contractor
The past decade has created a whole new age of DIY (do it yourself). All you have to do is open up Google, ask about the specific task you want to do and you have step by step instructions about the task you’ve searched for. You might have saved hundreds or thousands of dollars in many cases but pulling out your ladders and climbing multistory buildings for roof inspection and repair is definitely not a DIY job!
Your roof is the most important part of your house as it protects the rest of the structure along with your family! Repairs related to your roof should be taken very seriously because you may miss out on precise signs of damage that a Pro would never miss. Always look for a roof repair professional to handle these types of repairs/replacements as there are many advantages of working with a professional roof repair contractor.
Some of the major benefits of hiring a professional roof repair contractor are listed below:
Cost Effective
Hiring professional roof repair contractors to fix your damaged roof is really cost effective. This is because professional roofers get the roofing materials at lower costs and they have the right tools to work with depending upon the situation. If you calculate the expense of buying the required tools, your expense would increase rapidly.
Quality Material
A licensed Pro will provide the best quality material to ensure that your repair lasts for a long time. They know which materials are best quality and fit for your specific roof. They have access to high quality materials at wholesale costs.
Expertise Service
Professional roofers have been working on many different types of roofing projects for a long time. They are more likely to provide excellent service without any mistakes. Their main goal is to ensure that your roof remains undamaged and safe for a long time.
Efficiency
Professional roof repair contractors know the correct way to inspect your roof and identify the cause of the problem as well as recognize any other problems that can lead to future roof damage. They have the right tools, technology and equipment that will help them recognize what needs to be done in the most efficient and effective manner.
Safety
Accidents related to roof repairs are very common. Professional roof repair contractors have invested their resources on safety gear to ensure the safety of their roofers.
Warranties
Professional roofers provide warranties both on labor and the material they have used. This will give you peace of mind that the repair has been protected no matter what happens after the work is complete. If there are problems with your roof within the timeframe, they will have it inspected and resolved without any extra charges.
THE IMPORTANCE OF HIRING A LICENSED CONTRACTOR!
There are important reasons to hire a bonded and licensed contractor. First, since the unlicensed contractor is usually breaking the law by working without a license, there is a good chance he is also not complying with other laws including permit requirements and inspection requirements. Second, it can be much harder to determine if an unlicensed contractor will provide you with quality workmanship since the contractor has not submitted to any examination or review of their knowledge by a licensing board.
Aside from the increased possibility of receiving poor workmanship, when you hire an unlicensed contractor, you may also be giving up your right to make warranty claims. While most states impose implied warranties on contractors for bad workmanship, these implied warranty laws often require that the contractor be licensed in order to apply. Furthermore, your state contractor board will not typically help you to make a warranty claim against an unlicensed contractor. If you are trying to recover at all, you will need to go to civil court. Even if you win in civil court, without a bond, there’s a good chance the unlicensed contractor will not be able to pay your damages.
Another important consideration when hiring an unlicensed contractor is that you could be subject to liability. While the licensed contractor is required to have worker’s compensation insurance, someone unlicensed may have no protection from injury at all. If the unlicensed contractor harms himself on your property, you could be subject to a lawsuit and responsible for paying his damages.
To avoid potential hazards from hiring an unlicensed contractor, you should contact your state licensing board to determine if your contractor is licensed and if in good standing.
