#1 Ask For a Referral
One of the best ways to find to find a great contractor is to ask for a referral from your friends or family.

#2 Check BBB Rating
A great reference check for contracting companies is to research the company on the Better Business Bureau. BBB's Vision is, "An ethical marketplace where buyers and sellers trust each other." They have a rating system that ranges from A+ to F. It's important to go directly to their website to do your research because it is not uncommon for unethical contractors to boast A+ BBBS Ratings when in fact they don't. Above & Beyond Roofing has A+ Rating with the BBB!
#3 Confirm the Contractor has Workers' Comp and Insurance
You may not realize it, but if a contractor does not carry workers' compensation, if an accident happens on your property while they are working, you could be liable for the injuries rather than the contractor. That's why you should never skip confirmation on Workers' Comp!
For similar reasons, you should also ensure that the contractor you hire has at least liability insurance in case damage occurs on your property and the fault lies on the contractor.
#4 Choose a Contractor You Want to Support!
Another factor you may not have considered when choosing a contractor is choosing a contractor that supports the community and organizations you are a part of. Not all companies support the community and charity organizations and if that is something important to you, it's a great way to choose a contractor! Above & Beyond is well known for community involvement and donating to charitable organizations. We support numerous Lake Area Events like the Great Dam Duck Drop, Change of Heart Fun Run, Totes for Ta Tas, and donating to local food banks are just a small portion of our community involvement and charitable donations given by Above & Beyond Roofing.
