Have you ever wondered what makes an excellent roof repair?
Perhaps you presently have a roof leak and you’re not quite sure how to choose the best company for the job. Well, join the club. With all the hundreds of roof repair businesses in Toronto and the GTA it really can get overwhelming.
In fact, the #1 complaint from residential home owners is this: Every roofing contractor had a completely different method to repair the leak and their prices ranged from a couple hundred dollars to a couple thousand dollars.
So who do you believe? More importantly, how can you trust any roof repair business in Toronto when the numbers are so unbalanced?
Here’s some excellent, unbiased advice that will help you make a realistic, cost-effective decision.
Insure Yourself - Always Demand Proof of Liability Insurance
A contracting business must have adequate liabilty insurance. This protects you from any injuries the tradesmen might sustain – accidents DO happen sometimes. Without proper insurance YOU can be held responsible for injuries that occur on your property. Yes, it sounds unfair, but it is the law.
Proper liability insurance is also an extremely good indicator of accountibilty.
Get Recent References
Get 2 or 3. And be sure to phone each reference. Listen very carefully to what they say to you. Listen to the very sound of their voices. And listen to your gut instincts. A happy customer sounds enthusiastic, and they always give specific reasons for their gladness.
Here’s a recent reference from Brookside Roofing:
“Great service and fast repsonse to my needs. Brookside Roofing replaced the entire flat roof on my home, on time. 100% satisfied. I personally recommend Brookside Roofing as an accountable, professional residential roofing company in Toronto and the entire GTA.” Frank Delons – Owner of Remax.
If a Toronto roof repair company cannot provide good references, walk away. Period.
Years In Business
Because so many flash-in-the-pan roofing contractors exist in Toronto and the GTA, we can safely say that a roof repair company needs to be in business for a minimum of 5 years – 10 years is better. Also ask the contractor how many times he has moved his business location. We are trying to establish stability and accountability. If the contractor has moved 5 times in the past 5 years, that is a major red flag. Simply say “Thank you for your time,” and move on.
