Sweet Home Improve

Craig Owens Roofer

“what fun this is” said the lady of the house after the beer smelling, dirty jeans, tar covered roofer gave his sales-pitch on why she should hire him to do her roof. Nobody enjoys hiring a contractor to do a project on their home and roofers seem to be the worse of the bunch to hire. A lot of roofers have less than a positive reputation in the remodel industry and choosing the right one for you is can be tricky. Getting estimates from roofing contractors can be a challenge, some have prices sky high and some down so low that the customer cannot figure out what they are getting for their money.

Craig Owens, a featured roofing contractor on HGTV and owner of http://www.owens-roofing.com, a roofing contractor screening service says “Some contractors play games with numbers, gimmicks only to jack things up during the job later with surprises”.

Dry rot charges and extra roof layers can be some what estimated but make sure to have the hourly rate per man in writing on the contract.. Some contractors use products that may be lesser grades and again you the customer is left trying to figure out the puzzle. One thing that is also common is your contractor going out of business. Who do you call if something goes wrong? Who do you call?
