The Most Expensive Component in a New Roof is the Labor

Most of the materials that go into a new roof have a fixed cost and that cost varies little from roofer to roofer. Many Covington roofers purchase material from the same small set of suppliers. The single largest cost of putting on  a new roof is labor. Roofers that under bid roofing jobs do it by manipulating the cost of their labor. Often times, cutting labor costs means cutting quality.

There are many Roofers in Covington to choose from

What makes a good roofer stand out?

• Good Reviews. It is good to see both positive and not-so-great reviews. No one can make everyone happy all of the time. You can see if there are themes in the reviews for positive and negative issues. Seeing some negative reviews ensures that companies aren't buying reviews.
• Do they participate in ongoing education through the roofing manufacturers?
• Does the company hire subcontractors that are not licensed?  Labor and Industries charges over $25/hour for labor insurance. An uninsured subcontractor protects the roofing company from state lawsuits, while  reducing labor cost. You can be held liable for the workers injuries if this is the case.
• Is the roofer licensed? The city of Covington requires a city level business license.
• Ask about them obtaining a proper permit to do the work, Check with the city or county if you are told a permit is not needed. Failure to do this may bring consequences when you go to sell your house
• Ask about safety plans? Are the crews well versed in Labor and Industries safety regulations?
• Does the company you are considering have local clients that are willing to be references for their experience with their company?
• Ask for certified employees that understand the standards of the materials you are having installed.

Before you hire the first Covington roofers that you meet with with, make sure you are hiring a someone you will be happy with. Next time you interview a roofer, consider these points. Remember,to not just ask the questions, verify the answers.
