Where to Start When Choosing a Slate Roofing Contractor in Sydney

Installing a new slate roof can be an exciting endeavor. Slate adds beauty and sophistication to the home while keeping it very well insulated from the elements. However, choosing the right roofing contractors to get the job done can definitely be a daunting and tiring process.

If you're like most people, you probably don't know where to start. You don't want to be scammed or waste your money, nor do you want to be stuck with an expensive leaky, or flawed roof. The key to overcoming all of these obstacles is simply knowing where to look for the information you need to make smart decisions.

1. Do you know someone with a slate roof? Ask him about his experiences with the contractor.

One of the best places to get information is straight from the horse's mouth, and one of the most effective ways to find a local roofer who does a great job at great prices is to ask around. Call friends and neighbors who have slate roofs and ask them about companies that do the work. Will they use the same artist again or do they want to make a different decision?

2. Go directly to the slate roofing contractors themselves and ask questions.

The next step is to call up each of the contractors you're considering and arrange a time to meet with them in person. Compile an extensive list of questions and concerns to take with you when you show up for your appointment, too. Find out what each particular contractor can give you for your money, how many slate roofing jobs they have done in the past, and where you can reach a few references who can tell you more about their work.

 

3. Go online and dig up information on local slate roofers.

Almost everything seems to have its own website these days, and slate roofs are no exception. Search the internet for reviews and resources on local roofers and use them to make your final decision. You might even consider contacting the person who actually wrote the review and asking for more information. Show up in person to find out about the past work every roofer has done in the past.
