If you're embarking on a roofing project, you might feel like you have a long road ahead of you. This is especially true if you're undergoing a whole roof replacement. According to Investopedia, if your current roof is more than 20 years old, repairs are not worth it and you should instead invest in a new roof altogether. But this can feel daunting!

First, take a deep breath. Our professional roofing service is staffed with highly-trained and skilled roofers who will handle all the grunt work for you. When you leave your roofing services in our capable hands, you're setting your home up for success. However, there are some critical questions you should ask your roofers before your project begins. By asking these questions, you'll smooth out and streamline the entire process, no matter how large or challenging the job is. Here are a few suggestions of what to ask your roofer.

Will This Be a Full Roof Replacement?

Many unethical or dishonest roofing services will simply lay new shingles over your roof's existing shingles. This is a way for them to make a quick buck, to your detriment! This "shortcut" can actually cause more damage to your roof either now or later on down the line. A roofing layover just covers up the issues instead of actually addressing them.

Therefore, it's important that you have meaningful conversations with your roofer about what your roof is lacking and what type of service it needs.

Who is the Project Manager?

Any good team of roofers will have one designated roofer who serves as an overseer and manager. This person will also serve as a liaison between the roofing team and yourself. It's important that you're able to recognize the project manager before your roofing team gets started on the project. Get acquainted with the project manager and establish a rapport before the project's start date. After all, this person will be your greatest source of information regarding the project's progress!

What's the Projected Schedule?

An organized roofing company, like Dolly's Roofing Inc, runs like a well-oiled machine. This means that every project operates according to a clearly defined schedule. Your roofing team should provide an overview of the job's projected schedule and they should update you about any changes as they happen. This will help you understand what to expect each day of the process and allow you to plan your own activities and engagements around the roofing services.

Here at Dolly's Roofing Inc, we are always happy to answer questions like these and any others you may think of. Call us today to begin discussing and brainstorming your next roofing project!
