Thinking of a metal roof for your home? The big question is how do you find a roofing contractor who knows what they’re doing? Beyond getting a list of contractors, how do you select the best contractor?
Metal roofing is still very much a specialty product. Like anything, if it’s not properly installed, you will have a nightmare on your hands. In this short video, I explain how you can go about finding a contractor to install a metal roof on your home.
Here’s a quick outline of what this 5-minute video on how to find a roofing contractor contains:
Start with the product. Find a metal roofing product that you like, and that has the features, benefits, and durability you want for your home.
Contact the manufacturer of that metal roofing product.
- Before you even speak with a roofing contractor, the manufacturer can help you determine if the product you are interested in will perform well for your home’s protection and in your climate. If it doesn’t, they may have alternative suggestions.
- Once you’ve settled on a product, ask the manufacturer who they have worked within your area. The manufacturer may be able to suggest a contractor who has experience and a good reputation, saving you from sifting out this information on your own.
