So you’ve arranged a no-cost estimate for your roofing project—great! If you have any reservations, you can walk away without paying a cent, so free roofing estimates give you the advantage as the customer. But a job well done is about more than the bottom line. Take this opportunity to find out all you can about not only pricing, but also other factors that can determine ultimate purchase value.
A reputable contractor should provide you with proof of license, bond, and insurance at this time (requirements vary by state, but a well-run company should have these regardless). If you’ve requested an estimate from our team at Race City Roofing, we will always present this to you before concluding the estimate meeting.
Inquire about any applicable workmanship and/or material warranties. If repairs become necessary, is there any coverage, under what circumstances, and for how long? We’re proud to offer a lifetime labor warranty—one of the only such roofing guarantees in the Charlotte, North Carolina area.
If you’re using insurance to finance the project, gather details about the process from your contractor’s end. Are they willing to meet with your adjuster or submit requested information on your behalf, like required material types? We’re accustomed to working with customers’ insurers, particularly since we are a seasoned provider of emergency roofing services.
Gauge your interaction with the contractors offering your free roofing estimates. Do they listen carefully, seem happy to answer your questions, and take time to evaluate your structure thoroughly? If you feel the estimate is rushed or less than candid, consider another company to entrust with your property.
Although it’s no cost to you now, requesting free roofing estimates is an important way to determine future money well spent. And if you’re getting one from our team, rest assured you’ll benefit from our knowledge and experience from estimate to project completion.
