Storm Damage to Your Roof?

Choose a Contractor Wisely

Has your roof been damaged by hail or wind, or are there other areas of damage? While replacing a roof seems relatively simple, there are many roofing contractors who are not fully qualified to do the job right. Their shoddy work could cost you money, headaches, or worse. You’ll find inexperienced roofers cropping up after a hail storm. We’re not against opportunism in the land of opportunity, but as a customer, beware.

Poor work is common in roofing because customers are usually unaware of what’s involved (and the roof is out of sight and out of mind), including smart best practices, roof flashing details, handling problem spots, understanding alternative roof coverings, shingle types, grades, colors, low and high slope roofing. A roofer you can trust to be around for years and to back your warranty will earn your business by providing a thorough consultation and advice on the products, the process, and the warranty coverages. Even more important, a good roofing company will have a history and a reputation they won’t risk jeopardizing. Bella Vista Company is one.
