Just about anyone who owns a home will need the help of a residential roofing company to repair or replace a rooftop. According to Forbes, the average cost of roof repairs in the U.S. is roughly $950, but the reality varies drastically depending on the size, materials used, provider, and much more. Whether you're getting a roof repaired or replaced, here are some key questions to ask during the roofing estimate process to best prepare for your project.

1. How Detailed Is This Estimate?

The estimate should include very detailed information that clearly shows where your money would be spent. The estimate may include a detailed listing of the materials, labor, and any equipment charges so that you know how the final cost estimate is determined. It can also serve as a reference list for the full extent of work that would be done throughout the process.

2. Is the Team Certified to Do the Work?

As you may know, there are a variety of services and materials under the "roofing" umbrella, so it pays to ensure you're working with a company with experience working on projects just like yours.

3. How Long Would the Project Take to Complete?

An experienced residential roofing company should have a good idea regarding how long it would take to do the work in good weather. Plus, it pays to know how long it would take to complete so that you can plan ahead for the disruption that a roofing project creates. You also might want to notify your neighbors so that they'll be forewarned about potential noise from the project.
