Roof replacement in Celina

Get it in writing

• Get more than one written estimate so you can compare. The Texas Department of Insurance suggests at least three after storm damage.
• The contract should have the company's name, address and phone number, a start date and a finish date, and anything they promised you out loud.
• Never sign a contract with blank spaces in it.
• If you signed at home, the FTC says the contract should give you the right to cancel within three business days.

Paying for it

• The FTC says don't pay the full amount up front, and don't make the last payment until the work is done and you're happy with it.
• After a disaster, Texas law does not let out-of-town contractors ask for a down payment before they start work.

Things to ask about

• The written warranty on the work, and how many years it covers.
• The manufacturer warranty on the shingles or metal.
• Whether the city needs a permit for the job, and who gets it. A contractor who asks you to get the permit is a warning sign, according to the FTC.
• Whether the crew on your roof is covered. Texas lets most private employers choose not to carry workers' compensation.
