When searching for the best Boise roofing contractor, going with the lowest price is never the best way to go. Why? Well, skilled labor and quality roofing materials are never cheap.
High-quality roofing materials have a set price, and hiring a team of skilled, experienced roofers means paying them a fair wage. Boise roofing companies typically pay the same price for materials, which means if you end up hiring a cheaper contractor, they will more than likely cut corners on shingles, hardware, and procedures with unskilled installers to give you a lower price. These shortcuts are something that may end up costing you thousands in repairs or a total roof replacement once their labor and workmanship warranty has conveniently expired.
Cheap Boise Roofing Contractors
Below are some examples of how a cheap roofing contractor provides you with the lowest bid:
- The use of cheap materials that won’t hold up against Idaho’s harsh elements.
- The reuse of old materials from your current roof (underlayment, drip edge, etc.)
- Fewer nails per shingle than recommended by the manufacturer.
- Unqualified laborers that don’t know how to install your roof properly.
- Minimum or no insurance to protect your home should something go wrong.
Hidden Costs To Watch Out For
Some Boise roofing contractors will provide you with a bid, but fail to include all the costs associated with necessary permits, payment terms, extra materials, etc. These initial bids appear lower, but in the end, you will end up paying more than you anticipated with expensive change orders.
What A Roofing Bid Should Include
Below are some examples of what should be included in a quality roofing bid.
- The total cost of all materials, labor, and required permits.
- Specific info about the shingles, underlayment, and other materials being used.
- Verifiable license information.
- Clear payment terms.
- The cost of any changes or add-ones that result in additional charges.
- A clear, termination clause.
Once a roofing job is complete, you should ask your contractor for a lien release. This will prevent any liens from being placed on your home if a contractor fails to pay their supplier or neglects to pay anyone involved in the project.
