My Thoughts On Roofing

How to choose a good roofing contractor

How to Pick the Right Roofer (or Any Home Service Provider!)

July 18, 20235 min read

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten. - Benjamin Franklin

Introduction:

Imagine living under a leaky roof during a storm because of a bad roofing job.

Scary, isn't it?

Discover how to avoid this nightmare by choosing the right roofing contractor—tips straight from a 40-year veteran of the roofing business!

NOTE: There's a handy quick checklist at the end of the article.

Choosing a good roofing - or any home services - contractor

Greetings! I'm Garry Sephton, a dedicated guardian of roofs. 👊🏘️

Together with my family, we’ve created Sutton Roofing. It's a legacy that began with my father, Bill, and has been going strong for 40 years.

We've been privileged to serve almost 10,000 households and businesses, providing a range of roofing services from installations to repairs. Our base is in the lovely town of Sutton Coldfield, and if you'd like to hear about the work we do, CheckATrade.co.uk and Google have got us covered with some stellar reviews.

So I know a little something about good roofing services and I'm here to share my knowledge with you.

Peeking Behind the Curtain of Roofing

Now, here’s the secret sauce: selecting the right roofing specialist is akin to choosing your favourite educator at school.

You'll want an individual who brings a treasure trove of knowledge to the table, garners widespread acclaim, and, most importantly, leaves a trail of satisfied clients in their wake.

They should be forthright with the cost (providing a no-strings-attached estimate) and flexible with payment arrangements.

An essential yet often overlooked factor is insurance. Believe me, I've seen situations where this was the difference between a minor hiccup and a catastrophe.

But more on that later.

The beauty of this guide is its versatility.

While I focus on roofing contractors, these tips apply broadly to choosing any home service provider.

So, cosy up with a hot cuppa and let's get started!

1. Assembling Your Roofing Squad: The Must-haves

Think of this process as if you're managing a football club.

Your ideal players are those authorised to play (licensed and insured), adaptable to your strategy (experience in the type of roofing you require), and equipped with top-notch gear (preferred materials).

It's a calamity waiting to happen if you draft a player ignorant of the game's rules, unable to fit into your tactics, or missing essential equipment.

Similarly, selecting an ill-prepared roofer can lead to a malfunctioning roof, a messy garden, and an unfortunate dent in your finances.

Therefore, invest time in building your squad—it's worth it!

2. Interviewing Your Candidates: Questions to Pose

Think of this as if you're picking a new video game.

You wouldn't proceed without understanding its features, right?

The same principle applies to roofers.

Probe about special promotions (warranties), request for an outlined estimate of costs, and clarify the payment terms.

This strategy is a golden nugget for selecting any home service provider, so keep those questions handy!

3. Wearing the Detective Hat: Doing the Research

Fancy a spot of detective work?

Unearth online reviews and customer testimonials to get a sense of the roofer's track record.

Identify if they’re part of any professional alliances and investigate their standing with consumer protection bodies.

Skipping this stage might leave you with a contractor who creates more issues than they resolve.

Remember, this rule of thumb applies to all home service providers.

4. Grading the Contenders: Checking References

Ever asked a friend's opinion before investing in a video game?

It's no different when choosing a roofer. Request for client references and engage with these individuals.

If possible, inspect the roofer's past projects.

Bypassing this step might result in you dealing with a problematic roof in the long run!

5. Sealing the Deal: Selecting Your Roofer

The moment of truth arrives!

Ensure the roofer is insured, provides a guarantee for your satisfaction, and communicates any ancillary costs.

Neglecting this could land you with a hefty bill and a roof that falters at its duty. This nugget of wisdom comes in handy while selecting any home service provider.

The Takeaway: Finding Your Ideal Roofer

Discovering an optimal roofer (or any home service provider) might feel like hunting for the best video game or scouting for the star player of a football team.

It demands patience and diligence.

But considering your home’s importance—shielding you from the elements, providing comfort during the coldest days, and ensuring safety—it's worth the effort.

So, set aside ample time, ask penetrating questions, and choose your 'roof maestro' or 'home ally' with discernment.

Verified Reviews from Check A Trade

(Try to spot a review online that isn't 10 out of 10)

I would recommend Gary and his company without any reservation after the fantastic job he did for us. From the first contact he gives confidence with his most pleasant yet professional manner. He was very busy, told me how long the wait might be and then did everything he could to do the work sooner,getting it done before Christmas. They worked unobtrusively, cleanly and carefully. The results are excellent. His quote was better than others, but notwithstanding that, I would definitely ask him to do another job for us if necessary,before others. Thanks and well done.

From quote to completion of work I could not fault this company. Very prompt to quote, competitive price and communication excellent at all stages of the process. Job completed to a very high standard and tidied up after completion ( even checking debris in neighbours garden). I would have no hesitation in recommending.

Had my roof completely done on my new extension, and decided to have more work done on the existing roof. Rang Gary and he came out of his way super quick to have a look and came up with a solution and completed the work immediately. Super fast very trustworthy and brilliant job done on the spot. Would highly recomend Sutton Roofing if you want a honest job done and right first time every time.????????

Highly recommend Sutton Roofing. Garry and Steve are very professional and friendly. Attention to detail. Hard working to get the job accomplished tirelessly despite under the hot weather, tidied up not a single debris. Excellent value for money and quality. 100% positive experience. They are so good that I will definitely recommend to others.
