According to IBISWorld, in 2022 there were 81,679 different roofing companies operating in the United States. With that many options available, it's no wonder that finding the right roofing company can seem like an impossible task. Choosing the right roofing company can be as easy as asking your neighbor about their new roof. However, it can still be difficult to find a company that is completely transparent about its practices and prices. Let us help you with a few tips and insights for finding professional roofers that will best meet your needs.

Take Advantage of Referrals

Word of mouth is often the best way to find the right roofers for your project. If you happen to notice a neighbor getting a new roof installed, you can ask them about their experience. Friends, colleagues, and family members are also great resources when it comes to choosing the right roofing company. The local Chamber of Commerce will also have a list of potential vendors in your area. This is another great way to find out which roofing company is right for you. Happy customers will be thrilled to recommend a roofing company that provided them with exceptional service.

Ask for Quality References

Many contractors and home repair companies provide references without being asked. If a prospective roofing company doesn't provide you with references, don't be afraid to ask for them. And once you get them, be sure to give them a call. Prior customers can give you details that the company may not provide. Be sure to ask if the project was completed to their satisfaction. You'll also want to ask if the project was completed on time and within the agreed-upon budget.

Confirm Their Insurance and Certifications

Professional roofers have all of their ducks in a row when it comes to things like having adequate insurance and up-to-date certifications. Local municipalities often have their own requirements and regulations, so don't forget to double-check that everything's in order before your project begins. If your roofing work is related to storm damage or another covered event, be sure to confirm that the roofing company is approved by your insurance company.
