Your roof is your home’s first line of defense — so choosing the right contractor is critical. With so many options out there, how can you be sure you’re hiring someone reliable and skilled? Use this comprehensive checklist to guide your decision.
1. Licensed and Insured
Any contractor you hire should be fully licensed and carry both liability and workers’ compensation insurance. This protects you from liability if accidents occur.
2. Local Experience
Choose a contractor who understands Kansas weather, building codes, and regional roofing needs. Local contractors are more likely to stand by their work. We are proud to live among our Kansas City customers.
3. Solid References and Reviews
Check Google, Facebook, and BBB for customer reviews. Ask for local references and follow up on them. Take a peek at our reviews and see why many customers come back to us or refer us to their family and friends.
4. Detailed Written Estimates
Avoid vague quotes. A good contractor will provide a detailed estimate outlining materials, labor, timeline, and total cost. Contact us for your free estimate!
5. Warranties Offered
Look for manufacturers’ warranties on materials as well as workmanship guarantees. Gorilla Exteriors offers industry-leading warranty protection.
6. Professionalism and Communication
If a contractor doesn’t return your calls, shows up late, or won’t put things in writing, that’s a red flag.
7. No High-Pressure Sales Tactics
Respectable contractors let their work and reputation speak for themselves. Beware of anyone pushing you to sign a contract on the spot.
8. Clear Contracts
Before signing, make sure you understand the scope of work, payment schedule, and warranty terms. Don’t move forward until everything is in writing.
