HOME & GARDEN
RAISING ROOFS AND LIFTING STANDARDS
The roof on your home or business helps protect one of your most valuable investments. Sooner or later you will have a need to consult an expert with extensive knowledge of roofing to assess the condition of the roof, whether that need arises from storm damage or aging. Moza Hebert Roofing’s professional
and knowledgeable staff offers premium shingle and metal roofing solution consultation for both homes and businesses.
Getting a new roof can be a daunting task – from choosing a quality contractor to selecting the proper material. A few simple steps in the beginning will help make sure that the decisions that are made will provide a long lasting quality roofing system that has a warranty by a trusted installer.
First, before accepting any estimates
from potential contractors visit the Mississippi State Board of Contractors at www.msboc.us to verify licensing. All roofing contractors are required by law to be licensed to enter into a bid for contract.
Each contractor that is chosen should be able to inform you of the products available and advise you of the ones best suited for your project. Each estimate submitted should clearly outline the brand and quantity of materials to be used and include a detailed breakdown of costs, encompassing labor, materials, permits, taxes, cleanup and additional fees. Each contractor should verify that they will provide a copy of their general liability, worker’s compensation and auto insurance policy if selected as the contractor.
After the selection of a roofing
contractor, a contract should be drafted and signed by both parties. Any deposit required should be paid only upon signing the contract. The contractor is responsible for all necessary permits, as all roof replacements require permits. Once the roof has been completed and inspected, and a final invoice has been submitted, the final payment should be made. A reputable roofing contractor will not request payment until the project is fully completed.
