Choosing a Contractor

At Ameristar Exteriors, we understand first hand that your roofing system is the most critical component of your home or business' structural building when it comes to watertight protection.  We are often questioned as to what important piece of advice we can recommend to anyone seeking to hire a roofing contractor for exterior repairs to their home or business.  Easy.  The most important advice we can offer to all property owners is:

-Make sure to hire a contractor who can be trusted to install the system correctly and stand behind their work.

As a general rule of thumb, you should consider choosing a roofer that has been established for at least three years. A business that has been established for at least three years tends to have overcome many of the obstacles that face newer companies.

It is always best to hire a roofing contractor who is knowledgeable on all aspects of the field, someone who can answer your questions, address your concerns and who completely understands the full range of your expectations.

 

Ask for their credentials and qualifications.  A reputable company will provide you with references, insurance verification, and a copy of their roofing license.

   

Finally, trust your intuition. If a roofer rubs you wrong, even at the contract stage, don’t be afraid to back out before signing and resume your search.  Remember, this is your roof and it protects everything inside your home. It is likely going to be a substantial investment, so make it a wise one.
