Should I Get a Second Roof Replacement Quote?

Is your roof starting to show its age? Did you spot significant damage from a recent storm or just from everyday wear and tear? If so, it’s likely time to consider a roof replacement. If you’re trying to estimate the cost of a roof replacement, here’s the difference a second quote can make.

Is It Time for a Roof Replacement Quote?

There are many reasons to replace your existing roof and upgrade to a new roof. Your current home covering might not be sound or safe anymore. You may want to upgrade to a different roofing material that will last longer and be more energy efficient over time.

Whatever the reason you’re seeking a roof replacement, you should start by getting a quote from a roofing contractor to get an idea of how much the job will cost. Although quotes don’t necessarily reflect the final price, they do provide a general estimate for how much you should expect to budget.

But if you’ve already received a quote for your residential or commercial roofing replacement, is it worth getting a second?

Whether the project involves a home or a business, you want to make sure you get a fair price and that you select a reputable roofing contractor. Putting in a new roof can be great, but it’s a rather involved process.

Compared to a roof repair, roof replacement takes much longer and costs a lot more. You want to ensure your contractor can install the roof correctly and deliver a suitable roofing system that will last for decades.

You also want to be certain you’ve gone with a company that has priced the project reasonably. One of the best ways to do this is by getting more than one quote for your residential or commercial roofing replacement.

In this guide, we will go over the benefits of requesting a second quote and provide tips on what to look for in a quality roofing company.

Benefits of Multiple Roof Replacement Quotes

When you make a substantial purchase or plan a significant home or business renovation, obtaining at least two quotes for the job is highly recommended. There are many benefits to reaching out to several companies and requesting a quote so you can learn about your options.

Below are some of the top reasons you should consider a second quote, even if you already have and like the first one.

Reason 1: You’ll Get a Better Idea of the Market Value

If you don’t know much about the roofing industry, it can be difficult to tell what the going rate might be for a roof replacement. Of course, you can do some research online to get an idea of how much labor and materials cost.

Still, the best way to get a solid handle on the matter is to reach out to a couple of roofing contractors. Though most companies won’t be looking to mislead you, getting quotes from two or more contractors ultimately protects you. That way, you’ll have a stronger sense that the quotes you get are likely within an appropriate range.

Reason 2: Second Quotes Allow You More Options

It’s never a bad idea to have more than one option on a roof replacement project. Even if both quotes are in the same range, one could still turn out to be a better deal overall.

Knowing you have a couple of choices will give you peace of mind and help you choose the right company for your needs. Although finding a good deal is desirable, the cheapest option won’t always be the best. You’ll also want to factor in such other considerations as the contractor’s reputation, experience, and proposed process.

Reason 3: You Can Find Out More About Different Roofing Companies

The price of your roof replacement is vital, of course, but you also want to pick a roofing business you feel good about and like. Requesting a second quote may give you insight into the communication style of each bidder, and what it would be like to work with the firm.

You’ll get more valuable information about each roofing company if you request an estimate. You can’t lose by getting more than one quote.

How to Find the Right Roofing Contractor

There are many solid and valuable reasons to request more than one quote for your residential or commercial roofing replacement. But even if you get more than one quote, how else can you know that a contractor is reliable and good at what they do?

You can look at a few key factors to assess whether you’ve found a good roofing outfit. Here are some questions to research or ask.

  1. How much experience do they have? You don’t necessarily have to go with the oldest company around. But you’ll want to select a contractor who has a respectable amount of experience.
  2. What kind of roofing materials do you install? Along with broad experience in the industry, you’ll also want to know what kind of materials the contractor uses regularly. You want to be sure a bidder has expertise in the type of roofing you pick.
  3. Do you have examples of your work? It’s also helpful to get some photographs of their previous work. You might not be able to see everything in these images, but you can tell whether you like the final product.

Along with asking the company some direct questions, it’s also advantageous to look up reviews. These can give you a general sense of the firm’s reputation. Finally, think about asking people you know for their recommendations and experiences with roofing companies in your region.
