Choose the right contractor.

It is not uncommon to receive calls from people whose original roofing contractor is no longer available.

The roofing industry is very competitive and has been known for dubious practices.  Companies may go out of business after only a few years due to costs, poor business understanding and quality problems. Customers, employees and creditors are sometimes left with nothing when these companies fail.  They often resurface under a new name and begin the cycle again.

Be aware of advertising and lawn signs that say ‘30 years of excellence’ or ‘25 years experience.’ Often this refers to collective experience (3 guys with 10 years experience each or experience in other areas).   This may be deceitful since the company may have only opened recently.  Ask when the company was established.

Since incorporating in 1986, Classic Roof Tiling Ltd has seen many customers caught by these practices.  Their frustration may have been avoided if certain measures had been taken to protect themselves before choosing a contractor
