About Roofer
Safety practices you should expect on site
Crew members should use harnesses anchored to the ridge, not just work from ladders. Ask whether the company carries workers' compensation and whether subcontractors are covered too. Falling debris can damage vehicles or injure neighbours, so request proof of liability insurance before signing any contract or deposit.
Site protection and clean-up standards
Roofing is messy and dangerous. Confirm the crew will protect driveways, gardens, and walls with tarps and plywood. A magnetic sweep for nails should happen every working day, not only at the end. Ask where the dumpster will sit, who pulls the permit, and how the property is left at close of each day.
Skylights, chimneys, and other roof penetrations
Every pipe, vent, or chimney that breaks through the roof is a potential leak point. Ask how the roofer will flash each one: step flashing for chimneys, lead boots for plumbing vents, and purpose-made kits for skylights. Old sealant is not flashing, and reusing corroded metal invites water inside within 2 seasons.
Ice, water, and weather barriers worth paying for
In cold climates a self-adhesive membrane along eaves and in valleys prevents leaks from ice dams and wind-driven rain. Synthetic underlayment over the rest of the deck resists tearing during installation. These are cheap upgrades that stop the most common leak paths, so ask which layers the roofer plans to install.
Gutter and downspout integration with the roof
A roofing job is a good moment to check gutters and downspouts. Ask whether the quote includes new drip edge, gutter apron, and proper outlet placement. Misaligned drainage shortens shingle life and stains fascia boards. Confirm gutter cleaning or replacement is either included or quoted separately before work begins.
Roof decking and what it means for the budget
If the contractor finds rotten plywood once the old shingles come off, the price rises. Replacement sheathing is usually billed per 4 by 8 foot sheet. Ask in advance how many sheets are likely to need swapping and what the unit cost is, so a surprise does not derail the project halfway through.
Reading a roofing estimate line by line
Ask for the estimate in writing with a breakdown. Look for separate lines for tear-off of old layers, disposal, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and labour. A bid showing only a single total makes comparison hard and hides where the money goes. Materials should be named by brand and product line.
Common scams and how to avoid them
Beware of door-to-door roofers claiming storm damage only they can fix. Never pay the full amount upfront; a 30 percent deposit is standard. Avoid cash deals with no written agreement. Verify the company address and check online reviews from at least 6 months ago before signing anything.
Warranty and after-service expectations
Reputable roofers offer a workmanship warranty of 5 to 10 years. Manufacturer warranties on tiles or membranes run 20 to 30 years. Keep the job photos and material data sheets. Schedule a roof check every 2 years and after storms above 50 km/h wind speed to catch loose ridge tiles.
Ventilation and insulation checks
A healthy roof needs airflow at the eaves and ridge to prevent condensation. Ask about adding eaves vents or a dry ridge system. Check that insulation sits at the recommended 270 mm depth. Good ventilation keeps timber dry and prevents the mould growth that often follows winter heating.
