10 Questions to Ask Your Roofer Before Hiring

Image
Above & Beyond Roofing is your locally owned residential and commercial roofing specialist. However, there are many other roofing companies at the Lake of the Ozarks for you to choose from. So how do you make your decision?  Be sure to ask your roofer the following questions before hiring them! 1. Do you have a current license, general liability insurance and workman's comp insurance?  You want to hear yes to all of these questions and you should ask to see relevant paperwork for proof.  If the company cannot provide proof, chances are they don't have insurance.  At Above & Beyond Roofing, we carry $2 million in insurance and workman's comp for all employees. 2.

Example of a Gambrel Roof Here at Above and Beyond Roofing all we think about is roofs, but for many people that is one of the last things they think about when buying or building a house.  There are so many different roof styles for you to consider when designing and building a new house.  Although many people move into homes that are already built and have to just accept the roof shape, it is still something to consider when looking at buying a house. Each different type of roof has certain benefits that you should keep in mind when choosing a roof style. Houzz.com has a great list of 10 different types of roofs for you to consider. 1.

Last week we started this two-part blog series to help answer some of these questions.  Be sure to check our part one of our  Frequently Asked Questions about Your Roof . When repairing my roof I noticed there is no roofing felt under them. Is this the correct way to install shingles? No, it is not.
