3 Tips to Communicate With Your Roofer Effectively

Ensuring the success of your roofing project is not just about choosing the right contractor and waiting for them to finish the job. As a homeowner, you must stay involved with your project, and that means communicating with your contractor regularly. It might seem intimidating, but striking up a conversation with the pros is simple.

In this blog, local shingle roof replacement contractor Barnett Roofing shares these tips to communicate with your roofer effectively.

1. Make Yourself Reachable

You owe it to your contractor to be easy to reach you. Make sure you provide at least one reliable contact method, be it phone, email or text. Even when there are no delays, your chosen roofer should be able to inform you about your project’s progress.

2. Speak Up

Feel free to ask questions and voice your concerns as the damaged roof repair or replacement is underway. A good contractor values transparency toward their clients, so never be afraid to ask what they are doing and if everything is moving along smoothly. Keep in mind, however, not to bother or pester the contractor or anyone on the crew every step of the way. If possible, set up daily meetings with them and use that opportunity to ask your queries or air your concerns.

3. Get Everything in Writing

Both you and your roofing contractor should be on the same page for the entire duration of the project. As such, see to it that you get everything in writing, especially during your initial meetings with them to discuss the details of your roofing project. The written document should include the timeline of the repair or replacement, the materials and components that will be used for the project, and the roofer’s proof that they are licensed and insured.
