Admin Leave a comment

As a former roofing contractor, I would like to tell you that it is easy to find roofing contractors and roofing companies you can trust. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. There are some many wonderful, trustworthy contractors out there…and then you have the duds. I’ve worked with some of them. But have no fear. Today, I will offer you some helpful hints on finding that contractor, but also recommend you one of the best roofing companies Renovax Roofing Contractors Chicago. We are sure you can trust for your roofing installation or roofing repair.

  1. Do your research. Don’t just pick the very first roofing contractor you find in an internet search. Pick a minimum of three candidates and research them thoroughly. Find out what their licensing and insurance is like. Check reviews. Interview them on the phone or in person.
  2. Ask for recommendations from friends. Unless you are new to a city, chances are you have friends, family, or coworkers who have had roofing work done before. Ask them who they used and what they thought. If they had a strong experience, good or bad, they’ll be sure to share.
  3. Get it in writing. Make sure you have a signed contract before work begins. Safety procedures, clean up, payment amounts, and schedule should all be covered.

New roof installation

Getting a new roof can be expensive, and it’s important that you plan your budget to get what you want so you don’t have to settle for a style, material or color that you don’t really like. After years working as a contractor, here’s how contractors bid roofing jobs and the factors that can raise or lower the price of a new roof. However, you you are looking for trusted and reliable roofing contractors, we recommend you one of the best roofing companies in the Chicago – ACA Roofing Contractors. Not only they are professional at work, but also really affordable. Give them a call and check it by yourself!

New roof cost:

  • The size of your home has a major impact on the cost of your roof, since most contractor’s price per square foot. This determines how much material the roofer needs to get and also helps estimate the manpower and time it will require.
  • If you have a sloped roof, your roof will likely be more expensive because it will require more materials.
  • How accessible is your roof? If you have multiple stories with eves, overhanging balconies, etc. your roofing quote will likely go up because it is more difficult to roof. If your property has chimneys or vents to work around your quote may also go up. Despite less material these provide obstacles and complicate the job further.
  • Where you live can also affect the price of your roof. Not every area has budget-friendly contractors available and some may charge more depending on the season or if it’s a rush job due to impending snowy or rainy seasons.

You can find on my blog tips and tricks about roofing, some of my roofing experiences and reviews of roofing contractors from Chicago. From time to time, a funny story have to be told. Otherwise I’m sure you will get bored too quickly.

Few Words About Me

I bet you wonder who am I and why did I even started writing this blog. Well, to not torture you any longer with curosity, I’ll asnwer straight. I’m retired roofing contractor who used to do the roofing not only in Chicago, but also abroad – in Europe. My experience as a roofing contractor is broad and wide open. Over 25 years of working in this profession taught me a lot. I learned quite much about roofing installation and repair services, but the most valuable lesson is humility. You may be surprised, or even shocked – what is this old man raving about? No way… Oh, yes. Believe me or not but even greatest roofing contractors will fail, when the forces of nature will sworn in to ruin the construction.

I won’t extend this, cuz it’s only my first post here. Stay tuned for more guys It’s just the beginning!
