With decades of experience serving the Raleigh, NC area, we’ve seen firsthand the challenges homeowners face when selecting a roofing contractor. To help you make an informed decision, here are some common issues to be aware of:
1. Unlicensed or Uninsured Contractors
Some roofers operate without the necessary licensing or insurance, which can leave you liable if problems arise. Always ensure your contractor is licensed in North Carolina and carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. At Jackson Roofing & Gutters LLC, we have general liability insurance and we can show you proof of our insurance before you sign a contract with us.
2. Storm Chasers & High-Pressure Sales Tactics
After severe weather, out-of-town companies, often called “storm chasers,” may offer quick fixes. Many disappear after completing subpar work, leaving you without recourse. Choose local Raleigh area roofing contractors with established reputations.
3. Poor Workmanship & Low-Quality Materials
Some contractors cut costs by using inferior materials or unskilled labor. At Jackson Roofing, we prioritize quality, using top-grade shingles, flashing, and underlayment, and we back our work with solid warranties.
4. Lack of Local References & Reviews
A trustworthy roofer should provide local references and have positive reviews. Be cautious of companies without a proven track record in our community.
5. Overpriced or Underpriced Estimates
Extremely low bids can lead to hidden costs or shoddy work, while overpriced estimates may be unjustified. We recommend obtaining multiple quotes and comparing them to industry standards.
6. Warranty & Follow-Up Issues
Some companies fail to honor warranties or vanish after the job. As a family-owned business since 1982, we stand by our work and are here for any follow-up needs.
7. Poor Communication & Project Delays
Clear communication is vital. We keep you informed throughout the process, ensuring transparency and timely completion of your roofing project.
