Hiring a roofing contractor is an important decision for any homeowner. Your roof is critical to your home, protecting you and your belongings from the elements. Asking the right questions is a part of the process when looking for a professional roofing company to ensure you make the best choice.

Since 1987, we’ve operated with the philosophy that excellent service and high quality should be accessible at a reasonable price point. We’ve built lasting relationships with our customers across Central Virginia.

At Blue Ridge Roofing, we want to share our years of experience and dedication to customer service by offering insight into the questions you should ask before hiring a roofing contractor.

1. Can You Provide References?

A reputable roofing contractor should readily provide references from past clients. At Blue Ridge Roofing, we are proud of our long list of satisfied customers who attest to our superior craftsmanship, reasonable prices, and excellent customer service. You can take a look at satisfied customers on our testimonials page.

2. Do You Offer a Warranty?

Warranty periods vary depending on the company, and different warranties are offered, like a standard manufacturer’s warranty for material or a workmanship warranty that covers installation. Always check with potential contractors to learn more about their coverage and if they guarantee their work.

3. What is Your Experience with This Type of Roof?

Different roofing materials and styles require specific expertise. Whether you’re considering asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or another material, ensure your contractor has experience with the type of roof you want. Our team specializes in Standing Seam Metal Roofing, but we have over 37 years of experience with a wide range of roofing services, including gutters, custom fabrication, and maintenance, making us well-equipped to handle any project.

4. Can You Provide a Detailed Written Estimate?

A detailed estimate is crucial for understanding the scope of work involved. This helps to avoid unexpected costs and ensures you’re on the same page with your contractor. At Blue Ridge Roofing, Inc., we provide a clear scope of work, so you know what to expect.

5. What is Your Timeline for Completion?

Understanding the timeline for your roofing project helps you plan accordingly and minimizes disruptions to your daily life. Ask your contractor for an estimated start and completion date and inquire about any potential delays. We are committed to completing projects on time and keeping you informed. Some projects can begin as early as 1-2 weeks, while others, depending on busy seasons, can start in 6 weeks or more.

6. Who Will Be On-Site Supervising the Work?

Knowing who will be supervising your project is crucial. It ensures a point of contact for any questions or concerns you may have. Our projects are managed by a site supervisor who is responsible for overseeing the project and its progress. They are skilled and specifically trained for the type of work being performed, ensuring the highest quality of work.

7. What Payment Options Are Available?

Understanding the payment options available can help you plan your budget and avoid any financial surprises. Ask your contractor about their payment plans and whether they provide financing options. We believe in reasonable pricing for all homeowners and offer flexible financing options you can learn more about on our website. This makes it easier for homeowners to manage the cost of their roofing projects.

8. What is the Process?

Understanding the contractor's process ensures transparency and sets clear expectations. At Blue Ridge Roofing, our process includes an initial consultation, a detailed proposal, project scheduling, execution by our skilled team, a final inspection, and a follow-up to ensure complete satisfaction. This streamlined approach ensures efficiency and quality in every project.
