How to Find a Reliable Roofer
Roofing work is expensive, and, if you hire the wrong contractor, you can spend thousands of dollars too much and still get terrible work. Our ratings of area roofers will help you nail down the best roofers for your job.

How to Make Sure You Pay a Fair Price for Roofing Work
When hiring a roofer, quality of work should be your primary consideration. Once you have identified roofers that measure up on quality, get several fixed-price bids for the work. You’ll find big roofer-to-roofer price differences for the same job.

How Long Do Roofs Last?
Different types of roofs have different lifespans. Your inspections will reveal whether the entire roof is due for replacement.

How to Deal with Your Roofer
To get the roof you want at the best possible price, you must also deal with contractors wisely. One key is a precise contract; another is withholding as much payment as possible until work is complete, avoiding roofers that require big deposits.

Keeping a Roof Over Your Head
You can save money by inspecting your roof regularly to spot incipient problems. And you can save by making simple repairs yourself.

Mistakes Roofers Commonly Make
You’ll more successfully choose and deal with roofers if you’re aware of all that can go wrong.
