Do they intend to secure each shingle using more than one nails? Three isn't enough. Ask them about the methods they use to find out whether or not they give good answers. If they do not, continue looking.

Before you install new shingles, be aware of the materials used on your roof. Leaks can actually start at the point of installation due to damaged shingles or nails of the wrong length. Only use the right tools for the job.

Though it seems counter-intuitive, a crew of workers can often finish a job cheaper than a single contractor. A team can work quicker and the price may be more affordable, too. If you're working with a sole person, be sure they're not overcharging you.

You never want to pay for everything upfront if it isn't necessary. Although paying approximately 25% of the cost upfront may be necessary, avoid paying more than this amount. It could be a sign that their work will be sub-par or that they are trying to scam you.

There are many small things that you will need to take into consideration when retaining a roofer. If the person returns your call promptly, you can feel good about the fact that they are dependable. A bid that is typed out on stationary could indicate that the person is also a professional. You want your chosen roofer to possess both of these important qualities.

Insurance is something you need to have when it comes to roof work. In the event that a roofer damages anything on your property and is not insured, it's up to you to pay for it. Do not just ask if a prospective roofer has insurance, ask them to provide you with the documentation that their insurance is current and comprehensive as well.

Although this article cannot cover everything about roofing, you should be much more informed on the subject. Every little bit helps, and even a minor adjustment can save thousands of dollars. But, don't stop there!
