BEFORE YOU SIGN A CONTRACT
CONSIDER THESE FEW ITEMS.
- How long have has the company been in business?
You can go online to bsd.sos.mo.gov “Business Search” to see if they were there 5, 10, 20 years ago or last year. - Are they fully insured?
Workman’s Compensation, Public Liability, Truck Fleet insurance, etc.? Ask for certificates. - Is their business an established place of business?
Go by and check them out. - Are they licensed by the city of Springfield?
Have them show you a copy. - Can they provide you with the names of satisfied customers from years ago?
- Will they give you a firm contract price?
Beware of entering into a contract if there is not a total cost for roofing. Decking or structural work should be the only variable. - Are they home-owned and operated?
Refrain from using out-of-town contractors who may not be around when you need them. - Do they have the proper equipment to get the job done right?
Equipment needed to protect your property is just as important as the right tool to install all the roof. - Will they present factory warranties to you on completion of the job?
Can they offer you enhanced warranties by manufacturers? These can only be offered by a select few vetted roofing companies. - Will they furnish you with a lien waiver on final payment of the job?
You shouldn’t have to pay for the job twice.
