Reasons to Be Cautious When Getting Low Roofing Bids

Your roof is one of your most important and biggest investments. And while you may intend to get the best deal on huge home improvement projects like roof replacement, it’s important to be meticulous about the quotes you’ll receive. 

In this article, your GAF Master Elite Roofer Ken Morton & Sons share why you should watch out for low roofing bids.

Lack of experience and expertise

If your prospective roofing company has less than five years of experience, you should thoroughly research them. Carefully vet a contractor to ensure they’re trustworthy. You can do this by checking their online ratings and reviews, portfolios, and social media pages. Visible feedback on Yelp, Facebook and Google GMB can help you get a glimpse of their reputation. Nevertheless, beware of dubious businesses that change company names to escape their tarnished reputation. 

Lack of Warranties

Often, roofing contractors that offer low bids are able to do so because they can’t provide strong warranties. That said, ensure your roof is protected with appropriate coverage to give you peace of mind.

No After-Sales Benefits

Reliable companies can provide their customers with benefits such as repairs and maintenance. Ask your prospective contractor about the after-sales services that they offer.

Using Low-Quality Materials

If the quote is too low, it could be because they plan on using off-brand components for your roofing. The performance of your roofing could be affected by this. So once you receive an estimate, review the breakdown and the specific materials to be used. This way, you can assess whether they can provide you with quality workmanship or not.
