It’s always better to hire local, whether you’re looking for a roofing contractor or a plumber. There are some strong reasons for this, and they make a strong case versus looking for a big company that doesn’t even have a local office.
In today’s post, Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. discusses the merits of hiring a local roofer for your next project, whether it be roof replacement or repair.
Accessibility
Most of all, local roofing contractors live just a few minutes away from you. In case of emergencies, such as from a storm or when the next polar vortex has done a number on your roof, your local roofer can be there in a jiffy—weather permitting. Plus, if there are problems, you have peace of mind knowing that you know where they are, and you can simply pay them a visit if they’re not responding to calls.
Knowledge of Local Building Regulations
If you’ve lived in the U.S., you know how laws and regulations differ across states—and even the next county in the same state may have vastly different building codes! This is why a local roofer is the best professional for your roof replacement because they know which regulations need to be followed. This pertains not only to obtaining the neighborhood association’s permits but also clearing it with the city council and the right type of insulation for your roof.
Local Reputation
Finally, a good local roofer would most likely have replaced or repaired your neighbor’s roof. Failing that, you can talk to other people in your vicinity who could have hired them in the past and ask them about the contractor. Thanks to this, most local roofing contractors have a more personal relationship with their customers, and as such, they take special care to cultivate and preserve this relationship.
