Why Choosing the Right Contractor Matters
Your roof is more than just a structural feature—it’s your first line of defense against Florida’s unpredictable weather. Whether it’s scorching heat, heavy rains, or hurricane-force winds, your roof needs to be up to the task. But even the best materials can fail if they aren’t installed properly. That’s why choosing the right roofing contractor is critical.
As the owner of SRE Roofing, I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the downright ugly when it comes to contractors. Over the years, I’ve helped countless homeowners fix issues caused by poor workmanship. In this guide, I’ll share everything you need to know to find a contractor who will do the job right the first time.
Hiring the wrong contractor can have serious consequences. From financial loss to safety concerns, the stakes are too high to settle for anything less than the best.
Rich’s Take: "I’ve met homeowners who thought they were saving money by going with the cheapest option, only to spend twice as much fixing the mistakes later. A good contractor is worth every penny."
Not all roofing contractors operate with integrity. Here are some warning signs that you’re dealing with someone who might not have your best interests at heart.
Rich’s Take: "If a contractor won’t answer your questions or tries to rush you, walk away. Roofing is too important to leave to someone who’s more interested in your wallet than your roof."
A good contractor will welcome your questions and answer them honestly. Here’s what you should ask to make sure you’re making the right choice.
Rich’s Take: "A good contractor won’t just answer your questions—they’ll educate you. Roofing isn’t just about materials; it’s about trust."
