ROOF REPAIR RESOURCES

• How Long Has the Roofing Company Been in Business?

  It is always best to choose a reputable roofing company with a long standing history of providing high quality service. It is much easier for a company that has been in business one year to maintain a positive reputation compared to a company that has been in business for ten years. Choose a company that has been in business for at least 5 years. It will increase your odds of choosing a higher quality roofing company.

• Are They a Local Roofing Company?

  Not every roofing company that does business in Roswell is local. One would think that if a roofing company works in an area, they must be local, but that is simply not the case. There are roofing companies that are typically referred to as storm chasers. They will travel hundreds or even thousands of miles after a storm has hit an area. They will then approach homeowners about storm damage to their roofs. These companies will even start advertising in your local area online right after a storm. While some storm chasers likely do great work, if there is a problem with their work, you will have difficulty getting them to stand behind their work. If there is a problem with their work, you will not know until it rains and by then they could be in another state. Hiring a local company that is willing to stand behind their work is imperative.

• Are They Insured?

  You should never hire a roofing company that is not insured. Hiring a roofing company that is uninsured puts you, your loved ones, and your property at risk. If a roofing company is not insured and they damage your property, you can be held liable for damages. You should ask to make sure the roofing company has proper workers compensation insurance.

• Do They Warrantee Their Work?

  A company that is confident in their work will always be willing to offer a warranty on their work. This can also be a good indication that they are not using quality roofing materials. All roofing companies should be willing to offer a warranty, but not all roofing companies offer warranties. Ask your roofing company if they offer warranty on their work. If they do not offer a warranty, it is a good sign that they may not be the right company to hire. Our roofing company offers one of the longest warranties in the state of Georgia. We have a lifetime, no leak guarantee.

• Do They Have Real Reviews?

  Online reviews are one of the best ways to determine whether or not you should hire a particular roofing company. Google, Yelp, Kudzu and the BBB are some of the best online resources to read roofing company reviews. However, it is imperative to understand that not all reviews, reviewers, and review sites are credible. There are marketing agencies and roofing companies that are willing to write positive reviews that are not from customers. That is why you should not just read reviews, but you should also look at the other reviews written by each individual reviewer. For example on Google you can click a reviewers name to see what other businesses they have reviewed. Taking the time to do this will help you identify real reviews from false reviews. Individuals that have written dozens of reviews for service companies all across the nation are most likely not real reviews. Furthermore if someone has only written one review, it increases the odds that the reviewer is not a real customer. The online account may have been created with the sole purpose of writing a review for that company. Some businesses will also write negative reviews for competitors too. If you see a reviewer that has written one positive review for a roofing company and ten negative reviews for other local roofing companies, it is safe to say all of the reviews are fictitious.

  Look for reviewers that have a decent amount of reviews and have written reviews for Roswell and Atlanta area businesses. Those reviewers are more credible and are more likely to be real individuals who have used the business. If the individual reviewing a roofing company only has one review, they are simply less credible than someone who has written a dozen reviews for local companies.
