Not only is it a good idea to check for any reviews that may be available on the roofer, it is also important to ask the right questions. You want to make sure that you are comfortable when you hire somebody to work on your property, especially if they are working on the roof.

In addition, they should have insurance, including liability insurance and Workmen’s Comp. This would cover them while they are on your property, including their employees.

The next question may be more difficult, but it is one that is important consider. Most homeowners are interested in saving money but you should not cut corners that would end up costing you in the long run.

Ask them if they are going to remove the old roof and expect “yes” as an answer.
