Results from a pre-purchase home inspection when I bought my
house eight years ago estimated 10 years of life left in the asphalt shingle
roof, so I was not too surprised to find loose shingles on the ground the
morning after the wind storm.
Go local, and go for
value
I believe that supporting the local economy is a good reason
to hire local roofing companies to fix my
damaged roof, so I opened the yellow pages to see what the
Charlotte and Concord NC areas have to
offer by way of roof repair companies. There are a lot of
Charlotte area roofing companies who would like to fix my damaged roof. How was I going to find someone local to give
me a fair deal? If I was going to get roof estimates before the next rain, I
needed a quicker way.
Word of mouth
references
I called a few friends and family for help getting estimates
on my roof repair, and several mentioned the personal references available from
AngiesList.com. Now, that is more like it! Not only does Angie’s List provide
customer reviews, the website also includes information about each roofer, like
whether they will do repairs as well as new roof installations, how long they
have been in business, what licenses they hold, whether they are insured and
bonded, and so on.
Success!
Getting estimates on my roof repair has introduced me to the
roofing professionals at Advanced Roofing and Exteriors in Charlotte NC. Visit
them online at www.advancedroofingandesteriors.com
to see if they are the kind of professionals you might want to do business with, too. Having this reputable roofer in my home
repair telephone directory is going to make my life as a homeowner a lot
easier, I expect, and not just for getting estimates on my roofrepair!
