Description: Top 10 reasons that Butler roofing & construction should be your company.

If you're in the market for a new roof you probably already know what a big investment it can be. You don't want to let just anyone handle the job. Here are some basic things to look for that will help you narrow down your selection and choose the right roofing contractor for your project.
1. Make certain the roofing company is licensed and insured. In most states it is illegal for a roofing contractor to work without a license. This protects consumers from contractors that aren't experienced in the industry. Ask about insurance, particularly liability and worker's compensation. A roofer without insurance coverage can leave you open to all sorts of risk, from damage to your property to liability for personal injury. We have put a copy of our insurance verification and contracting license inside your customer introduction folder.
2. Check with the Better Business Bureau. This is where you'll find those unhappy customers if there are any. Remember that any company that deals with a large volume of customers can get a few complaints. What's important is how they handled those complaints. We have worked so hard to establish an A+ rating with the BBB. Are customers are everything to us, customer satisfaction is the number one goal of EVERY employee.
3. Ask for references. A reputable roofing contractor will be happy to provide you with a list of previous customers. We have provided a list of references in your folder. We like to change these on a regular basis so are customer are getting a bunch of calls on our behalf. We would love for you to be a references for us after the work is completed.
4. Look for a roofer that has good communication skills. You want someone that you can talk to about your project, that will readily answer all your questions and that will keep you informed every step of the way. We work with all kind of customers some like to be real hands on and others let us take care of everything.
5. Make certain you hire a roofing contractor that offers a guarantee on the project. The roofing materials manufacturer will usually include a product warranty. If there is a problem with the installation or materials, you want to have a written guarantee from the roofing contractor that he will be there to take care of the problem. Butler Roofing & construction does guarantee our work it is written in our contract. We are also a preferred contractor (This is where you work closely with the manufacturer to become a preferred contractor). Award is included in the folder.
6. A roofing company is only as good as the workers they employ. What kind of training or skill levels do they demand of workers? Do they provide safety training programs? Workers that follow safety training procedures haven been proven to have less accidents on the job. Butler roofing & construction safety is very importation we work year round on keeping all employees up to date with the latest safety procedures.
7. Does the roofing company crew clean up the job site? If they need to remove old roofing materials is the cleanup included in the cost? Clean up and the removal of old materials is always included in every job. Inside your folder we include a sheet tiled Prepare for roof replacement.
8. Get a written contract. While an old fashioned handshake is nice and a sign of a courteous contractor, you still need to have everything in writing. This includes the scope of the project, the materials to be used and their specifications.
9. If you're taking bids for your roofing project, don't immediately accept the lowest bid. A low bid may be an indicator of poor quality materials or sub-standard work. At the same time a roofing contractor may be able to offer a low bid because he has low overhead or a source for quality materials at lower prices. If in doubt ask the contractor how he was able to arrive at his bid. We use the same software that the insurance company's use (In most cases we work directly with your insurance company which makes the stress free for you) The software is updated yearly so we have the same numbers they will.

10. How long has the roofing contractor been in business? A company with an established business is likely to be around when you need them. If you have a warranty, you want to make certain someone is around to honor it should there ever be a problem. Most Roofing Company's make it 5 years or less so if you're using a lifetime or 25 year product on your house there won't be anyone around to honor your warranty.
