CARNATION ROOFING

Find three Carnation roofers, Get three quotes. Do your research.

If you are looking at replacing your  roof, it is important to understand how roofers work and why roofing quotes vary. With 20 years in the Roofing business, Elite knows how to put a quality roof on your home. Roofers don't always install quality, especially if they are focused in driving the lowest price.

The Most Expensive Component in a New Roof is the Labor

Most of the materials that go into a new roof have a fixed cost and that cost varies little from roofer to roofer. Many Carnation roofers purchase material from the same small set of suppliers. The single largest cost of putting on  a new roof is labor. Roofers that under bid roofing jobs do it by manipulating the cost of their labor. Often times, cutting labor costs means cutting quality.

Carnation Roofers with Excellent Reviews

Don't just read reviews, ask for references. A good roofer will have clients that are willing to tell people what a great experience they had and how much they love their new roof.

Focus on Labor When You Interview a Carnation Roofer

If you want to get a quality roof, focus your conversation on these areas:

• Is the company licensed, bonded, and insured?
• What is the company's safety plan? Paying attention to safety means wearing equipment that can slow you down. Do they have daily onsite safety meetings? Who is in charge of safety on the jobsite?
• Are their workers all covered under Labor and Industries insurance? Does the company hire subcontractors that are not licensed?  Labor and Industries charges over $25/hour for labor insurance. An uninsured subcontractor protects the roofing company from state lawsuits, while  reducing labor cost. You can be held liable for the workers injuries if this is the case.
• Will the company obtain a permit and adhere to local laws? The city of Carnation requires a city level business license. Ask about them obtaining a proper permit to do the work, Check with the city or county if you are told a permit is not needed. Failure to do this may bring consequences when you go to sell your house
• Will there be a job overseer onsite? Having a PM on site ensures that the roof goes on right and that defective materials are rejected, and make sure that your expectations are met. The project manager can handle equipment issues and help to ensure that errors are caught and fixed. In addition they  also monitor jobsite safety.
