When hiring a professional roofing service to work on your home, it's important to verify their experience and credentials. Requesting more information about the tools they use and their handling of various roofing materials is a given as certain roofing materials can save up to 30% on your home energy needs, according to Green Home Guide. Here are three questions that you should ask your hired team of experts.


1. How Long Have You Done Roofing?

Even if it's a relatively new company, the team of residential roofing contractors might have years of prior experience. By learning more about their previous work, you'll have peace of mind knowing that you're hiring a group that has encountered a lot of different roofing scenarios over the course of their careers. Be sure to ask about their past work taking care of the exact roofing need you have. It also doesn't hurt to consult online reviews to learn how well they're able to meet customers' needs.


2. Are You Licensed and Insured?

Contractors with the proper licenses will know how to safely and expertly meet your home's roofing needs. It's important to hire a crew who is recognized by the state that they work in. Don't hesitate to ask about their insurance coverage which is meant to cover them if an accident occurs on the job. Ask additional questions that clarify the coverage that applies to their work. If they are reluctant to show you this, then move on and look elsewhere.


3. Do You Use Subcontractors?

A roofing company with its own subcontractors will make verifying their work a bit more complicated. In this situation, you'd have another party to communicate with about licenses, past experience, budgets, timelines, and more. It's a much more efficient and smooth process to work with a contractor who has their own crew that they work with.


A quality team of contractors will be patient, communicative, and glad to clearly answer all of your questions so that their services are easy to understand.
