When it comes to hiring a roofing contractor for your home, you need more than just a good deal. You need someone who’ll be around tomorrow, next year, and 10 years from now. As a contractor with over two decades of experience, Pit Crew Roofing® has seen the good, the bad, and the expensive mistakes. Here are four things homeowners need to look for when hiring a roofing company.
1. Warranty Lifespan = Contractor Track Record
If a roofing system has a 10- or 15-year warranty, ask yourself this: Will your roofing contractor still be in business when you need them? Many contractors disappear after a few years, leaving homeowners stranded. A licensed roofer who’s been in business for 15+ years has proven they’re here for the long haul — and they’re more likely to honor warranties, answer questions, and provide long-term service.
2. Ask About Brand Experience
Contractors who’ve been in the industry for decades can tell you which brands stand the test of time. At Pit Crew Roofing, we’ve handled hundreds of warranty claims. In over 20 years, we’ve never had an issue with Atlas shingles. That’s why we recommend them — we know they hold up. A reputable roofing company will back brands they trust, not just whatever’s on sale.
3. Commitment to Customers, Not Just Contracts
You want a contractor who treats your home like their own. The best licensed roofers stand by their work for years, not just until the check clears. Look for someone who talks about customer care, not just materials and labor.
4. History Speaks Louder Than Promises
Plenty of companies make great sales pitches. But what have they actually done? Ask to see proof of long-term warranties honored and projects completed over the years. A reputable roofing company won’t shy away from showcasing its track record.
