hi everybody this Tracy Bookman owner of
homestead roofing with today's Tuesday
tip and today's tip should be a real
helpful one five questions you must ask
your roofer
and you're going through the process of
interviewing different roofers talking
to them trying to get a feel for who is
going to be the best one to do your job
these five questions should rise to the
top when you're having these discussions
with them so question number one what is
your office address why do you need to
ask that kind of gives you an idea of
how legitimate of a contractor they are
if they're operating out of their
basement or something like that
that may not be a good indication for
you question number two what is your
contractors license number boy that's
really important if you're here in the
El Paso County area that's all covered
by Pikes Peak regional building
department and they issue license
numbers to contractors who are licensed
here if the contractor isn't licensed
here he can't pull the permit which is
required for your reroute job question
number three do you have workers comp
insurance boy we've talked about that a
lot through our videos if a contractor
or the subcontractors don't have workers
comp insurance and there's an injury on
the job you as the homeowner or your
insurance company could be liable don't
forget to ask that question question
number four do you require any money up
front some roofers are going to tell you
hey I've got to collect money up front
because that helps them pay the bills
well a legitimate contractor is going to
be able to pay his bills without
collecting money up front for you and
Colorado Senate bill 38 governs how a
roofer can and can't collect money as a
deposit payment from you as a homeowner
do your research on that one and kind of
figure out if the roofer is asking you
for money up front if it's a legitimate
request or not question number five will
you help me pay my deductible that's
kind of a trick question and the reason
I say it's a trick question is because
roofers it is against the law for
roofers in Colorado to pay a rebate or
discount your deductible in any way
shape or form or even promised to do
that so if you ask a roofer will you
help me pay my deductible and he says
well sure we can do that that really is
a good indication that you should
discount that roofer right there and
here's a bonus quest
that you can ask your roofer do you have
a satisfaction guarantee so if the
roofer does a really poor job do you
have any recourse with that contractor
at all so if they really screw something
up or they're doing things wrong are you
just stuck with having to give them
money under the threat that they're
gonna file a mechanic's lien on your
property or they're gonna send the
collections agency after you you want to
know that if there's a major issue that
can't be resolved just like with other
purchases that you make do you have the
assurance that you're gonna get your
money back if you need to if you've got
