1. Choosing on price alone
A low number may exclude important materials, preparation, cleanup, or warranty coverage. Compare the full scope of work, not just the total.
2. Skipping license and insurance checks
Verify that the contractor is properly licensed and insured before work begins.
3. Ignoring the fine print
Read the proposal closely so materials, labor, cleanup, timing, and payment expectations are clear.
4. Not checking reviews and references
Recent customer experiences show how a roofer communicates, protects the property, and handles the jobsite.
5. Forgetting to ask about warranties
Ask what is covered by the manufacturer and what workmanship guarantee the contractor provides.
