At Home Exteriors of Michigan, we understand that investing in a new roof – whether for your home or business – is a big decision. As a family-owned and operated company serving Southeast Michigan, we treat every project like it’s for our own family. Your roof is more than just shingles; it’s protection, value, and peace of mind. That’s why choosing the right contractor is critical.
Not every roofer offers the same quality or commitment. Before you sign any contracts, make sure you’re asking the right questions. At Home Exteriors of Michigan, we’re always ready to answer them – because we believe in transparency, honesty, and top-notch craftsmanship.
Here are 5 essential questions you should ask before hiring a roofer:
Can You Explain the Findings from Your Inspection?
A reputable contractor should provide a thorough inspection and a detailed report of their findings. At Home Exteriors of Michigan, we walk you through everything we see – using photos and clear explanations in plain language. No confusing jargon, no runaround. A detailed inspection shows our commitment to doing the job right from the start.
Can You Provide Local References?
We’re proud of the reputation we’ve built right here in Southeast Michigan. Ask us for a list of local clients — we encourage you to call them. Find out about their experience: Was the job completed on time? Was our team professional? Did they have peace of mind after the work was done? If a contractor can’t provide glowing reviews from your neighbors, that’s a sign to keep looking.
What Insurance Coverage Do You Have?
Protecting our customers is a top priority. That’s why Home Exteriors of Michigan carries comprehensive insurance, including at least $1 million in general liability coverage. We’re happy to provide a copy of our insurance certificate so you can rest easy knowing you’re protected from any accidents or damages during your project.
Can I Get the Payment Terms in Writing?
Clarity matters. All payment terms should be spelled out in writing before work begins. We provide detailed contracts that outline payment schedules, amounts, and any other financial details. Our goal is to ensure both sides are on the same page – so there are no surprises.
What Licenses, Credentials, and Warranties Do You Offer?
As a licensed and credentialed contractor in Southeast Michigan, Home Exteriors of Michigan meets all local standards. And we stand behind our work with strong warranties that cover both materials and labor. We only use products from trusted manufacturers with robust warranties – because we believe in giving our customers long-term peace of mind.
Bonus Tip: Get a Written Estimate and Timeline
Before starting any project, always ask for a detailed, written estimate and project timeline. At Home Exteriors of Michigan, we provide clear milestones – like material delivery, installation dates, and cleanup – so you know exactly what to expect.
