HOW DO YOU QUALIFY A CONTRACTOR? Everyone has the same questions, “How much will it cost?” and “When can you start the work?” These questions are very important, but are they the right questions to ask? McKinnis has been in the roofing industry for over 38 years, so we have compiled a list of additional questions that you should be asking to protect yourself and your home. Is the low-bid contractor providing a fair price? • Studies clearly show that most dissatisfaction involves the lowest bid contractor. • Be sure to spend one hour with each contractor discussing problems, products, and price. • It’s important to compare estimates that have the same products - some may be of lower quality. Does the business have a physical address? • Be sure to double check the company’s name and address on bbb.org. • Automatically reject any contractor without a permanent place of business. • If the contractor is not permanently established, how can you be sure the work will get done? • What would you do if the project fails, and you are financially harmed? • What if the contractor doesn’t finish the work, and they stop answering your calls? 3

How long has the company been established? • Visit the contractor’s place of business. Does it appear that they have been there for years? • Select a company that you can call if a problem arises in the future. • Don’t be timid about asking pointed questions, this proves you are an intelligent buyer. • A contractor that has been in business for less than five years could be financially unstable. • Check references carefully - long term references prove the longevity of their work. • What certifications do they have? Is the company licensed, insured and bonded? • Homeowners have been financially harmed by uninsured or inadequately insured contractors. • Request the contractor’s Certificate of Insurance, Liability, and Worker’s Comp information. • Homeowners can be sued for injuries on their property if the contractor is not insured. • Don’t be fooled by the self-employed contractor - they need proper insurance as well. • Today, insurance to protect the workers and your property is a significant cost of the project. • The low bid estimate may be the result of a contractor not having proper insurance. Do they employ a Insurance Safety Director? • Safety violations can shut down projects and leave the homeowner with unfinished work. • Some contractors will be unwilling to pay the fines and return to the job-site. Does the company belong to trade associations? • You can call the associations and get more details about each particular contractor. • Does the contractor offer continuing education to their employees? How does the contractor handle complaints? • Reject any contractor that has NEVER had a complaint. No contractor is perfect. • Ask the contractor about a problem they encountered. How was it resolved? • Check BBBinc.org for contractor ratings. Does the business have a workmanship warranty? • Does the contractor provide a workmanship warranty to address service needs in the future? • A good workmanship warranty is typically 3-5 years to protect the installation. • If the warranty sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t real. • The long-term warranty is provided by the manufacturer of the product being installed. • A product warranty is only valid if the contractor is “certified” to install the product. • You can call the manufacturer to determine if the contractor is in good standing.

How To Document Damage for an Insurance Claim If your home has sustained storm damage, you may be wondering where you should start. If you do not take immediate action, these issues will get worse and may cost you money if the problem is not fixed right the first time. If at any time you need assistance, get in contact with a trusted roofing contractor that can help you with the claim process. DID YOUR HOME MISS THE STORM? Now would be the time to start gathering information for future needs. • Take photos of your roof and make notes about the exterior of the property each year. • Document & photograph any updates that you have made to your home recently. • Take photos of soft metals - gutters, downspouts, HVAC caps, and air conditioning units. • Don’t forget to check these areas - garage doors, sheds, grills, patio furniture, and deck. YOU HAVE DAMAGE, NOW WHAT? Below are some good steps to protect yourself before making a claim. • Start by noting the time and date of loss, what happened and what was damaged? • Date and make notes of all phone conversations you have related to the damage. • Take inventory of damaged property and make note of problem areas. • Record video and take photos of the damage prior to calling your insurance company. • Depending on the size of loss, it may be worth hiring someone to help you document it. • If you need assistance, contact a qualified contractor to help answer your questions. 5
