1. Find out the contractor’s experience and references

The first step in choosing a contractor is to find out their experience and references. Ask the contractor how long they have been in the business and what kind of projects they have done in the past. A good contractor can present several successful projects and satisfied customers.

  • Ask the contractor for references and contact previous customers.
  • Check out the contractor’s website and read customer reviews.
  • Make sure that the contractor has experience in renovating exactly your type of roof.

2. Check the contractor’s permits and insurances

It is important to make sure that the contractor has all the necessary permits and insurance in order. This protects you from potential problems and guarantees that the contractor acts legally and responsibly.

  • Make sure that the contractor has a valid Y ID and that they are registered in the advance collection register.
  • Check that the contractor has liability insurance and any other necessary insurance.
  • Ask the contractor if they have certificates or other proof of their professional skills.

3. Ask for several offers and compare them

Ask for quotes from several different contractors and compare them carefully. Do not automatically choose the cheapest offer, but also pay attention to the content of the offer and the reputation of the contractor.

  1. Ask for written offers detailing all costs and work steps.
  2. Compare the offers with each other and pay particular attention to the quality of the materials and the scope of the work.
  3. Ask the contractor how long the renovation will take and when they can start the work.

4. Make a written agreement

When you have chosen a contractor, always make a written contract. All work details, schedule, costs and payment terms must be clearly defined in the contract. This protects both parties from possible disagreements.

  • Make sure that all work steps and materials to be used are detailed in the contract.
  • Agree clearly on the schedule and possible penalties for delays.
  • Specify the payment terms and possible additional work in writing.

5. Track job progress

When the renovation is underway, monitor the progress of the work regularly. Keep in touch with the contractor and make sure everything goes as planned. Don’t hesitate to address potential problems as soon as they arise.

  • Visit the site regularly and check the quality of the work.
  • Contact the contractor and ask for more information if necessary.
  • Make sure that all the agreed work is done and that the end result meets your expectations.

By choosing a roof renovation contractor carefully, you can ensure that the renovation goes smoothly and the end result is durable and high-quality. Always remember to check the contractor’s background, ask for multiple quotes and make a written contract. This way you can avoid unpleasant surprises and enjoy your new roof for a long time.
