How To Select The Right Dallas Roofing Company

Do a quick Google search for "Dallas roofing companies, and you'll find the list of results is VERY long! With so many options to choose from, it can be hard to know which Dallas roofing company is the right one for you. Your goal is to find a roofing company that will:

Do a good job

Charge you a fair price

Offer you a quality guarantee on their work (and be willing and able to follow through on any guarantees or warranties)

Finding that roofing company may be easier said than done, but we have a few tips to help you find them:

1. Check the company's credentials -- Does the roofing company have the proper business certifications? Are they insured? Will they give you copy of their insurance certificate? What's their rating on the BBB? Where are they located? Local permanently or just in for the storm season? All of these things will help you find out more about the company you're considering.

2. Read reviews -- Hit up Google, Angies List and Houzz to see what others have to say about the roofing companies. Take all the reviews with a grain of salt, but read them to get a "feel" for the company.

3. Ask for proposals -- Want to find the best work at the best price? Talk to multiple roofing companies, and ask them to submit their most competitive quotes. When you make comparisons, be careful to compare apples to apples.

4. Watch out for "too low" bidders -- There should only be a 20% difference between the various quoted prices. If there is someone offering you the work at a suspiciously low price, they're probably NOT going to do the job right!

5. Understand the difference between "estimate" and "bid"-- An estimate is a written "guess" on how much a contractor thinks the job will cost. A "bid" is the final amount of money they are willing to accept for the job. Always get an estimate in writing, as it will help you to get the best possible bid on the work.

6. Ask about the quality of the materials -- Talk to the roofer about the brand of materials used, and do some independent research to determine if the materials are top quality or not. You want only the best for your roof, so make sure to find out details on your own. Also, dont be afraid to ask for and call the distributor they use to find out of the contractor pays their supplies on time or if they have issues there.

It's not easy to find the right Dallas roofing company, but with the tips above, you stand a better chance of selecting the roofer that will get the job done right!
