Posted on April 03 , 2019 by Vantage Point Roofing

 

Last month we posted about avoiding the pitfalls of contracting roofers that
only target storm damaged regions (article here), this month we’d like to
continue in that vein and explain four reasons why it’s best to stick with the
locals when it comes to finding the right roofing contractor to make your home look like new again.

1. They know the codes!
Building codes and regulations may differ between regions, and especially between states. Choosing a local contractor will ensure that they are familiar with the codes of practice relevant to your area. This means that your roof will be installed to conform with the latest requirements, ensuring your roof can continue to keep you and your home safe.

2. Faster response times and competitive pricing
A well-established local company will have developed relationships with a range of suppliers and additional trades required to complete projects. This means they will be able to source the best price and keep timelines to a minimum.

3. You can verify their reputation
If the roofing company is local, you’ll have the opportunity to ask around for others’ opinions on their service and products, as well as check out their handy-work in person. Ask the company if there are any projects you can check, or if there are any previous clients that would be happy to discuss their dealings with them. Obviously they’re only going to refer you to those who have had positive experiences, but knowing that they have happy customers who are willing to qualify their claims is great news! The added bonus here is that, while a pop-up company may have hundreds of satisfied customers in another region, you know that the testimonies from those within your community will be relevant to the area and its needs.

4. They’ll be there when you need them
If an issue arises down the track that needs attention, you can count on your local roofing company to be there long after the storm. Out-of-towners come and go, which means when you face problems they can’t be held accountable. Regardless of the cause, if there is a need for rectification, your local roofer will be easy to contact, familiar with the job and able to respond appropriately.
BONUS – It supports the community!
Local businesses usually employ local people. When you contract a local roofer, you’re putting money back into the community and helping to create jobs for people in your area!
