1) Find Roofing Contractors on the Internet

If you’re a new homeowner or don’t have any recommendations from the neighbors, consider searching on the internet for roofing contractors. 

When you are finding roofing contractors in Houston, Texas, make sure that they have good reviews, anywhere from 4 stars and better is a good place to start. Begin by reading the reviews first and read what past customers have to say about the roofer.

One good reason to find a roofing contractor in Houston that has 5 star reviews is because they have to meet high quality standards with their customers such as completing the job, making sure the project is done right, good customer service, etc. in order to keep a high rating on the internet.

This is great way to go because chances are if the roofing company has low star ratings, they most likely do not provide a good roofing service for your home.

2) Talk to Different Roofing Contractors

You should talk to several roofing contractors so that you can get a good idea on what the price for a roof should be and if they are easy to work with. If the roofing contractor cannot answer basic questions about your roof such as the age of the roof, areas of damage, the insurance claims process, project completion, etc, then note that may be a sign that they might not get your roof installed properly. 

Interviewing at least three roofing professionals before you start with a whole new roof installation project can help you get an idea of what to expect and the amount of money the project will cost. 

Compare the roof bids and the benefits and see what might be the best fit for you. You may not want to go with the cheapest price for a roof replacement if you are looking to get a quality roof that lasts a long time.

Installing a new roof costs about $15,000 on average for homes located in Houston, Texas. Make sure to ask the roofing contractor what type of roofing materials they use as this is extremely important in getting a quality roof. The best and most popular roofing materials are GAF and Owens Cornering.

3) Check the Roofer's History

Before hiring a roofing contractor, you need to make sure you are dealing with a roofing company that has a reputable history. Check to see if who you are dealing with is not a criminal within the local database.

Also, check to see how long the contractor (or company) has been in business. A good rule of thumb to look is 5+ years, but ultimately to ensure the best roof installation, 15+ years is best.

Do they have good reviews? This should also be taken into consideration as well when selecting a roofing contractor in Houston, Texas.

4) Read the Roof Contract Closely

Read the roof contract closely and carefully before signing. Professional roofing contractors shouldn’t be annoyed by you taking the time to fully read the terms of your agreement. A great contractor will be happy to sit down with you and explain all parts of the contract.

Make sure you understand the roof warranty that comes with the new roof. All roofing materials and workmanship should be guaranteed for at least 5 years. The roof materials themselves such as the shingles, underlayment, etc. should have at least a 25-50 year warranty. 

Check to see if the contractor in your local Houston area has any type of certification or accreditation with the specific roof materials they are installing. A roof warranty may not apply to your new roof if the roofing contractor is not accredited or certified by the roof material company.

  1. Thanks for the tips on hiring roofing contractors. I would like to make sure my deck is covered so that we could enjoy it during the summer. Maybe we will need to get an awning first so that we can see what we prefer.

"Mike was great to work with. He explained all that needed to be done to install a quality roof that would last. Had other quotes but other contractors were not as informative and did not include everything that was needed. Mike’s crew was courteous, did an excellent job and completed the work in a timely fashion. If you are not familiar with working with insurance adjusters be sure Mike meets with them when you set up a meeting. This was helpful in my case and made the claims process run smoothly. I am very pleased 😀 with his service and recommend him to my neighbors of which two have used him across from my home."
