4 Questions to Ask to Avoid a Rip-Off Northern Virginia Roofing Contractor

Posted on May 7, 2012 by Kyle Hoffman

When it’s time to tackle roof replacement or repair, either planned or unplanned, countless roofers would be happy to get your business. But you want a proven professional who will deliver the best workmanship at a competitive price … how can you find that contractor without getting scammed in the process? Just ask a few simple questions to help you weed out nearly all dishonest Northern Virginia roofing companies.

1. Where is your business located?
Get a phone number for the company, and call or stop by to verify that it does exist. Lack of a physical business address or an out-of-state address could signal a fly-by-night contractor who won’t be around once money has changed hands, much less when a warranty issue arises.

2. Are you a member of the Better Business Bureau?
BBB membership is a quick way to determine the legitimacy and track record of a company. If the business does not belong to the BBB, the next question will be especially important.

3. Can you provide a list of local references?
Always ask for references from local homeowners. Talking to former clients will reveal whether the contractor keeps to his schedule, provides accurate estimates and cleans up responsibly, as well as the quality of his work. Because storm-chasing roofers follow the damage and generally aren’t from the area, they will have more difficulty providing a credible list of clients.

4. May I have a written estimate?
Any reputable contractor will be happy to provide you with a written estimate detailing your project. If he won’t furnish a written estimate, remove the contractor from your list immediately.

Once you have selected the contractor you are most comfortable with, have a written contract signed by both parties in hand before allowing work to begin. Above all, use your instincts when it comes to any business dealing involving your home. If a Herndon roofing contractor is pressuring you or appears to be looking to make a quick buck, get away fast! To schedule a FREE roof inspection and estimate from Northern Virginia’s premier home improvement company, call Roofing & More at (877) 398-4555. We’ve been satisfying customers since 1993!

The Top 3 Benefits of Vinyl Siding in Alexandria, VA

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Kyle Hoffman

Given the unpredictable weather endured by northern Virginia homes, vinyl siding is a smart choice for most homeowners. With the ability to withstand high winds and excellent resistance to heat, cold and moisture, vinyl certainly ages gracefully. Its clean lines bring a big lift to the exterior of older homes in particular, and a quality product can add considerable value at resale. Consider these advantages of installing quality vinyl siding in Alexandria, VA:

• Minimal maintenance. Vinyl siding requires less maintenance than other cladding materials. It is mold and mildew resistant, and dirt and other residue can be easily removed with a simple household cleaner and a garden hose. Best of all, it never requires painting, scraping or sanding like wood.

• Durability. Vinyl siding ranks only after brick and stone in terms of its durability and long life. New innovations in the chemistry of vinyl have made it all but indestructible, which is why many siding manufacturers now offer lifetime warranties on their products.

• Affordability. Compared to wood cladding, vinyl siding costs roughly half as much per square foot. And because installation is faster, you’ll also save on labor costs.

Roofing & More is a certified installer of CertainTeed vinyl siding. Choose vinyl siding from Roofing & More and never paint again! Call us today at (877) 398-4555 for a FREE siding estimate.
