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.

Ask your roofer about warranties on his work. Some companies may offer you a deal that is a little better. Also, make sure to get any warranties and estimates in writing, so you will have them in your possession. That way, there cannot be any disagreement about the terms later on.

Make sure your roofer has insurance. In the event that a roofer damages anything on your property and is not insured, it's up to you to pay for it. Simply receiving verbal confirmation of insurance is not enough; make sure you see a copy of the document to ensure it is up to date and comprehensive.

The age of your roof can help you figure out if replacement is needed. Many roofs only last for around 20 years before they need replaced. Some homes have been fitted with a new roof right on top of the old one; if you're in this situation it may be time to tear both off and start fresh.

Ask roofing contractors about the type of warranty they have. Some companies will have better deals than others. On top of that, be sure to get the warranty and the estimate in writing, so you will have this information on hand. This will prevent ant disagreements in the future.
