These guys came highly recommended so I was set on hiring them for some small additions to our current home. They made us think they wanted our business so we met with them and they told us they wouldn’t give us any kind of quote until we paid to have official plans drafted. We understood that policy and followed through, paying a couple grand for these plans. Once we turned in our drafted plans, in December, it took several weeks for them to get back to us saying they’re working on our quote. It was holiday season so we were patient. We kept reaching out to them after that and kept being told “we’re working on it”. Other friends of ours kept telling us we should’ve heard back with a quote within a few weeks while it’s been months. We finally sent an email saying hey if you don’t want our business and too busy, you should’ve been straight up about it. Now we’ve run out of time and they completely ghosted us. I think this company came highly recommended but was a mistake. They don’t know how to be honest nor communicate properly. I wouldn’t recommend this company for any kind of renovation. They clearly just want full home build profits. They don’t care about anything else other than money.

The timeline for a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and material type. Larger or more intricate roofs may take a bit longer, but we always aim for efficient, timely completion.

3. How to hire a roofing contractor?
+-

To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
