INTEGRITY
Most often, estimates may appear to be offering the same or similar services, but our experience shows most contracts are not created equal. A low price can signal discrepancies and shortcomings in the reliability of the contractor. In addition to the actual materials, some of the differences to look for when comparing Grand Rapids roofing contracts and contractors are the number of years the company has been in business, the experience of the actual crew, and validity of liability and workers’ compensation insurance.
In the end, you want to pick a roofing contractor who has a history of satisfied customers and is committed to installing your roof according to the manufacturer’s specification.
EXPERTISE
Short answer: probably not. Professional roofing contractors are trained to safely and efficiently repair or replace a roof. Also, shingles and other roofing materials only qualify for the manufacturer’s warranty if they’re installed correctly. Beginners can harm a roof with improper roofing techniques or severely injure themselves by falling off or even through a roof in need of repair or replacement.
However, if you must inspect the roof yourself, use a firmly braced or tied-off ladder equipped with rubber safety feet. Wear rubber-soled shoes and stay on the ladder (and off the roof) if possible.
ROOFUS OUR MASCOT
Not every business has a mascot, but at Above Roofing, we have “Roofus,” a border collie. He represents our amazing team of professionals and our commitment to your protection. When you see him in our advertising around the community, we hope you think: hardworking, friendly, and smart. Above Roofing’s team are all of those things while we install and maintain the most secure and attractive roof for your home or business.
