Always make safety your first priority when it comes to fixing your roof. Don't try to fix a leaking roof, for instance, while it is still storming outside. This is very dangerous. Get a bucket to catch the water from the leak until things start to clear up and then you should check on your roof.
-
Have safety precautions in place when going on your roof. It is possible to fall, particularly if you haven't been on the roof very often, resulting in very severe injury.
+
Sometimes shingles leak, but the foundation can leak too. If there is dry rot on your home's sides, you may get water in your home. Look at every entry point, even rotten wood, to see if the problem can be solved for good.
-
You should choose materials used for your roof in relation of the weather. Clay roofing is a great material if the area that you live in has a dry climate; it can help maintain a comfortable temperature inside the house. Clay tiles applied in damper climates can cause rapid deterioration. If you don't know, ask.

When faced with snow, ice, or rain, it is best to postpone your roofing project. If you're working on a wet roof, you're putting yourself at risk of injury or death. If you decide to repair your roof on your own, do it when it's dry and sunny outside.

It's critical, and you can lose balance when you haven't climbed onto a roof often; thousands are hurt or lose their life from falling each year.
+
It is important that you check the references of any contractor you hire. Follow up on the references, calling previous clients to find out if they are satisfied with the work. Take a drive to the homes, if possible. Drive by the houses your contractor worked at and pay attention to their roofs.

You may have to pay around 25% of the amount to get the job started, but try not to pay more than that. It would be horrible if they did bad work or didn't do everything you thought they would.
+
Get contractor referrals from loved ones. If any of them have done business with this contractor, they can let you know how pleased they were with his overall work. Inquire about how well the yard was cleaned up and what type of guarantee they received as well.
After narrowing down your list of roofers, determine which one offers the best warranty. You want to be offered 3-5 years of coverage. It must cover workmanship and defective supplies, and they should also give you photocopies of manufacturer warranties too.

As you narrow down the field of possible roofing contractors to hire, make sure that you learn about each one's warranty offers. The warranty should last at least three years. The longer it lasts, the better. You'll want a warranty that'll cover things such as issues with the materials or workmanship. You'll also want a copy of the manufacturer's warranties.

The roofing contractor that you hire needs to be completely current with all of their credentials. Nearly every state insists that roofers be properly licensed, so inspect your contractor's paperwork to ensure that they are fully compliant. Also, be sure they are currently holding good liability insurance and a worker's compensation certificate.
+
Check your roofing materials thoroughly before installation. Lots of leaks come from basic installation, such as improper nail lengths and cracked shingles to start with. Only use the right tools for the job.
The age of your roof can help you figure out if replacement is needed. Most roofs only last about 20 years. If your current roof is installed over an older layer of roofing, you are going to have to redo your roofing in 20 years.

When you are looking for a contractor, look for how long they've been established. A new company is not necessarily bad, but a company with a long history of happy customers is your best and safest bet. A company that hasn't been in operation for too long may very well be run by scammers who will take your money and run.
