Advanced Roofing Inc.

Your roofing estimate and roofing contract are some of the most important documents in your roofing project. The roofing contract is your source of legal protection; it needs to be detailed and you should try to understand it completely. On the other hand, your roofing estimate will provide you with essential information about your project.

Advanced Roofing, Inc., one of the top local roof repair contractors, explains what should be included in each document:

Things to Look For in a Roofing Contract

A roofing contract protects you in case things don’t go as planned during your roofing project. Study it exhaustively before signing. The contract should be specific and should cover the payment terms, including the downpayment, progress and final payment. When running a home improvement project, consider tying payments to project milestones. This gives the roofer incentive to perform good quality work and to meet deadlines.

Finally, your contract should also include a termination clause that covers the valid reasons that you or the contractor can use to end the agreement.

Things to Look For in a Roofing Estimate

Roofing estimates vary between different roofing companies, though certain elements should always be present. The roofing estimate talks about the nature of the project, including the team that would be handling it. Having these stated in an estimate gives the assurance that the roofer knows the exact changes and improvements you want to see. As a residential roofing systems expert, we always include the start and completion dates. Longer projects cost more, as there would be more expenses and labor, so it’s important to know just how long the project will take.

The roofing estimate also needs to have the company’s proof of roofing license, workers’ compensation and liability insurance. The license information shows that the roofing contractor you would be working with is qualified for the job. Meanwhile, the compensation and liability insurance saves you from any expenses in case accidents or any damage to your property happen on the job.
