Summer is here and the peak of storm season is just beginning. Inspect, Repair or Replace your roof.
Protect your home and the valuables within it by ensuring that your roof is as ready as it can be now.
Clean all debris from your roof and gutters, if you need to hire a contractor, be sure to hire a licensed and fully insured reputible contractor to perform a roof inspection, and/or to complete any repairs that are required now to ensure that your roof is secure.
Should a storm affect our area, be sure to hire LOCALLY licensed and fully insured contractors. Hire LOCAL companies only, keep Florida's economy working while also getting the highest quality and service available. Reputable South Florida roofing companies know the roofing installation state and county building codes, so your roof will be installed properly. Should there be any problems that may arise, having hired a 'local' company, the issue will be quickly addressed and corrected. Out of state contractors cannot offer the same guarantee and most do not care to.
Hiring unlicensed and/or out of state contractors is highly risky and may cause you to pay two to three times as much for roofing work and possibly a lot of headaches should they not have proper insurance as you can be held liable for any mistakes that they may make. And should a workman fall and get injured on your job, you, the property owner can be sued. It's also possible that the unknowledgeable company may install the roofing material incorrectly and/or without proper permits ultimately requiring you,the homeowner to possibly pay fines while also requiring you to re-install the entire roof system correctly, according to Miami-Dade Building Code.
Also keep in mind that the 'cheapest' quote for your roof may also be a RED FLAG to consider. You may very well pay for what you get, paying cheap may mean having to pay again (double or more), paying for 'quality at a value' which means the price may be a little more now may save you more money in the long run then you realize. These days times are tough and all contractors have substantially lowered rates just to keep busy, so going with the cheapest on 'contruction services' is exactly what you will end up with. You know what they say .... you pay for what you get. Cheap doesn't go with Quality, but Quality at a reasonable rate can be done. :)
Have a great summer and stay safe!
