What Homeowners Should Know About Hiring Marietta Winter Roof Repair Contractors

By Andrew B. Spates


The freezing rain and ice storms of winter can be very destructive to the roofs of many homes. When high winds and hail have damaged a roof, it's time for the homeowner to contact a professional and dependable Marietta winter roof repair company that will provide timely and effective service.

Many of the area's best roofers may have a full schedule of repairs to make, as their loyal customers are all calling them up to come out and fix their weather-damaged roofs. If a company does not have a backlog of service calls following storms, it might indicate that they are less than reputable. Customers must be cautious and thoroughly check out whomever they hire.

Customers must ensure that the roofer they choose is one who is dependable, honest, and has a reputation for great service. Some less scrupulous companies will boast of speedy repairs and rock-bottom prices but in reality they will simply take customers for their money and leave them with a poor repair job that must be redone for more money. It's best to ask for references and also look up some honest reviews online.

Hiring the first company that comes along is not recommended, instead one should get quotes from several contractors in order to compare prices and services. Most of them are willing to come out and check the roof and will then give a price estimate based on the nature of the repairs needed.

One way to help minimize the extent and cost of roof repairs is to have them regularly inspected for any minor issues which if left unchecked could become expensive and inconvenient full-scale replacement jobs. Leaks are the most common early sign of deterioration, and these are easily fixed if done early on.

Some repairs must be done right away in the wintertime as leaving them alone until spring could prove disastrous. The roofer may offer a discount for winter repairs in some cases, however the same labor warranty will likely be provided as it would the rest of the year. There is something to be said for a company that makes itself available 24/7 to its customers and responds promptly to their calls.

Excellent customer service is certainly an important quality to look for in a roofing company. Years of experience in the industry is another selling point that customers should seek, and they must also confirm that the roofer is fully licensed and insured before agreeing to hire him, as to protect themselves from liability or a non-legitimate business.
