How to Select a Contractor for Your Protection:

"Over 1.1 Million Complaints and Lawsuits Were Filed Against Contractors Last Year Alone...Up 62%." The Wall Street Journal

When you choose a contractor to replace your roof - follow these guidelines to ensure you've picked a contractor who will do the job properly:

1. General Liability Insurance Certificate - Not "Self-Insured": You need to know if your contractor carries general liability insurance for both commercial and residential projects. A sizable contractor will carry no less than $500,000.... and usually around $1,000,000 of coverage. Over three-fourths of roofing companies do not carry proper insurance coverage to protect you against losses.

2. Arbitration Statement In Contract: Ask to see the arbitration statement in your contract. If complaints arise, the roofer agrees to settle disputes through binding arbitration. Without this agreement, you have no recourse.

3. Current References: All reputable roofers carry pre-printed lists of references...that includes customers from 1 to 5 years ago, as well as customers from the previous month. Also, ask for suppliers, business references, etc.

4. Association Certificates of Good Standing: Belonging to trade associations implies some quality and ethical integrity on the part of the contractor. Associations like the National Roofing Contractor Association as well as the Better Business Bureau are often referenced.

5. Use Only Major Roofing Manufacturer's Certified and Authorized companies, like Brad Van Weelden Company, to install your roof system.

6. Quality Inspection Checklist and Walk through - Ask to review their Quality Inspection Checklist.
