How to choose a roofing contractor without getting burned.
What to ask, what to check, and where to start — roof inspection and free estimate in Liberty Township, OH.
You see roofing trucks on I-75 and signs in neighborhoods like Stonehenge and Trails of Four Bridges every day. But picking the wrong contractor could leave you with a leaky roof and no one to call. A new roof is a big investment. You're afraid of paying for work that fails after one storm. You're not sure what questions to ask to protect yourself.
Your shingles are curling, or you have a leak, or your roof is over 20 years old. You know you need a new roof. But the real problem is you don't know how to tell a good contractor from a bad one. Many roofers give you a number and pressure you to sign fast. Without the right questions, you can't spot the ones who cut corners.
A roof inspection and estimate should cost you nothing. A reputable contractor offers a free inspection with photos and a written estimate. The process takes about an hour. You'll learn the true condition of your roof, what needs fixing now, and what can wait. Getting three quotes helps you see a fair price range.
This week, call three local roofers and ask for a free inspection. Do not pay for an estimate.

What people in Liberty Township say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."

how much should a roof inspection cost

what does a roof inspection include
Shingles, flashing, penetrations, gutters, attic ventilation and decking, documented with photos.
why do i keep getting calls about roof inspections
Storm chasers follow hail maps. Use a local, licensed company that will still be here in five years.
attic wet after rain
Mark the wet area with tape. Check the roof directly above it for missing shingles, cracked flashing, or a bad pipe boot. Water travels downhill, so the entry point may be higher than the stain. Get a pro to trace it before it rots the decking.
shingles curling and losing granules
Curling and granule loss mean the shingles are past the middle of their life. A few bad shingles can be replaced. If it is widespread, start budgeting for a tear-off. Get an inspection with photos so you can see the truth.
