It may be time for a new roof before summer. Whether you're doing general renovations, preparing to move, or preventing leaks, your local roofing contractor can help you. When it’s time for repairs or installations, you want the best roofing professional around. You can ask the right questions to find the ideal match.

1. How Long Will My New Roof Last?

According to the Roofers Guild, the average roof has a lifespan of 20 to 25 years. Of course, how long your roof lasts depends on the type of materials it consists of. After installation, how well you maintain the roof by getting timely repairs and inspections can also affect the overall lifespan. Asphalt shingles are the most popular roof with American homeowners, lasting up to 20 to 25 years, according to Bob Vila.

2. Do You Have a Warranty?

Most reputable roofing companies offer some guarantee. That guarantee would normally be in the form of a warranty or money-back offer. Under the warranty terms, your roofer will return for any repairs or updates without charging additional fees. Therefore, you can have peace of mind that the roofing project won't end until it's properly done. Just remember that different companies have different warranty time frames.

3. What Is Your Range of Service?

If you're lucky, you'll find a contractor who does more than roofing work. Your gutters are also a part of your roofing system. An experienced local contractor may supply gutter cleaning, repairs, and installation. Some may even do other exterior work such as siding or patios. Having such a contractor on speed dial makes home repairs and renovations easier. Just remember to ask for visual samples of every type of service they supply so you can feel comfortable hiring them.

These are a few questions you should ask a local roofing contractor.
