The success of your upcoming home improvement project depends on how skilled your roofing and siding contractor is. As such, it’s important that you are careful with the company you hire. Home improvements don’t come cheap, so your contractor should be able to do it right the first time around.

The experts at Custom Installations share four questions you need to ask your prospective contractor before you hire them.

1.  Are You Licensed and Insured?

This should always be your first question, as you want to work on your project with a legitimate contractor. The company in question needs an updated license and all the relevant insurances. Liability insurance, in particular, is very important, as it protects you from liability over any damage your home may sustain as a result of negligence.

At Custom Installations, Inc., our contracting license is up to date and we have all the necessary insurance to give you peace of mind when we provide you with high-quality home improvement and roofing services.

2.  What Kind of Roofs Do You Offer?

Roofs play a key role in your home – protecting your home and ensuring curb appeal and energy efficiency. As such, it’s important that you know what kind of roofs your prospective contractor specializes in replacing, installing and repairing.

Our local company offers high-quality roofs from GAF and CertainTeed, as well as our custom-made metal roofing that we manufacture in-house through our sheet metal fabrication services.

3.  Do You Install Siding?

Siding is a great home addition as it’s a superior exterior wall cover. When looking for a home improvement contractor to work with, you’ll want to pick the one that offers siding services. Siding isn’t just attractive; it doubles as a weather barrier and can even improve your home’s insulating properties.

4.  May I See Homeowner References?

Ask your prospective roofers if you can see some references from homeowners they worked with before. This allows you to better gauge their workmanship through reviews and testimonials. You can ask for a portfolio of their previous work, too.

At Custom Installations, we meet all the criteria for trusted and experienced home improvement contractors. Call us at (847) 558-1967 to learn more about our services. We offer expert roofing services throughout Glenview, IL.
