When you’re considering hiring a roofing contractor in Vancouver, you should be very careful whom you hire.
A clearly written proposal that is detailed and broken down into separate line items are a good sign that the contractor is being thorough and has prepared an accurate estimate.
Here is a partial list of line items your roofing proposal should include:
- The type of roof covering, manufacturer and colour
- The scope of work to be done
- Removal or replacement of existing roof
- Flashing work to be replaced or re-used
- Ventilation work
- Who is responsible for repairing/replacing exterior landscape or interior finishes that are damaged during the course of the work
- Installation method
- Start and completion dates
- Payment procedures
- Length of warranty and what is covered
Roofing proposals will always differ from contractor to contractor, and this is a clear representation of the varying levels of skill and ability. Your roofing contractor should have 20+ years experience to meet the complex roofing requirements of the Vancouver area.
