Look up roofing contractors online and you’re bound to get just as many local contractors as there are national franchises. In today’s post, local residential roofing contractor Dior Construction shares the reasons why you should work with a local roofing company.
1. Personalized service — One of the downsides of working with a company that provides service on a national level is the lack of a personal touch, resulting in inconsistent customer service. You’ll never know who the company will send to your house, whether they have their own installers or hire subcontractors, and quality of work can vary. On the other hand, working with a local roofing offers a different experience. Chances are, it’s a family-owned business, owned by someone you know. You can expect warm and personalized service from the project’s beginning to end.
2. Convenience — Local roofing contractors offer convenience that franchises simply can’t provide. You can schedule an online consultation or an asphalt shingles installation appointment on relatively short notice. Local roofers also have better response times during roofing emergencies. In such situations, the sooner emergency measures are applied, the less damage is inflicted on the roof. Sometimes this can make the difference between minor leak repairs and a major roofing restoration.
3. Knowledge of local requirements — Local roofing contractors are more knowledgeable with local building codes, something that national franchises are more likely to miss. One may end up required by building authorities to correct such mistakes out of pocket, if found to be noncompliant. Local roofers are also more attuned to local tastes and styles, which can be helpful when you need your home to fit in with the neighborhood.
4. Easy claims process — It’s no secret that filing warranty and insurance claims is difficult, but a local roofing contractor can help make the process easy. Roofing contractors with manufacturer designations are authorized to handle warranty claims, which streamlines the process and helps get repairs started sooner. For insurance claims, local roofing contractors can also be at the site faster than national franchises can send theirs, which can help you file your roofing insurance claim as soon as possible.
