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.
-
If you notice that your roof is leaking, wait until the area is dry to start fixing it. A wet roof can become corrupted if you work on it too fast, and it's quite easy to slip. When your roof has dried, you are then able to safely fix your roof.

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.
-
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.
+
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.
-
If a roofer is making your feel uncomfortable with a sales pitch, politely decline. These people are generally shady and try to make you sign a contract that has you losing out on things so it's a good idea to not allow yourself to work with them.
+
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.
-
If you are selecting a roofing contractor, they need proper liability insurance. Insurance is a sign of a reliable contractor. Insurance is necessary to cover any accidents that may happen while your roof is being repaired.
+
If you've already tried to get someone to come out to fix your roof but they won't be there for a while, then you should do what you can to fix the leak temporarily. You can nail heavy plastic to damaged areas. It is not a lasting fix for the leaks, but it'll provide your home with some protection until the proper repairs can be made.

Insurance is a must when it comes to roofing. A contractor without insurance can be very dangerous. That's because if he causes further damage to your roof or gets injured on the job, you will be liable for the expenses. Ask if the roofer has insurance in place, and make sure you see written documentation that it is current and sufficient in amount.
-
It's best to use a roofing contractor who has extensive experience in the industry. You may want to ask your friends or family for suggestions if any of them have had their roofs done. This is crucial since you want to avoid poor roofing work that could be expensive later on.
+
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.
-
Find out about warranties from all contractors you are considering. You're seeking out a warranty that will last you for at least 3 to 5 years. The longer it lasts, the better it is. The warranty should cover defective supplies and poor workmanship. The contractor should also provide you with manufacturer warranty copies.

Be sure that you're hiring a roofer that has the proper licensing before they do any work. If you don't know what your area requires, you shouldn't take what the roofer says about it as the truth. Instead, contact your local building department and ask them about the requirements.

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.
