10) Comparing Apples to Apples

The biggest single reason for arguments in the construction business is misunderstandings…“I thought that was included”…”I thought you were going to do…”

Remove the possibility for misunderstandings by GETTING IT IN WRITING. All the details! Never go ahead without a written contract that explains all the details of what is going to be done, how much will it cost, what color, what type of shingle etc. The more details the better. For every additional detail or specification written into your contract you are removing a possible reason to disagree later.

The Good News

There are good roofing contractors and there are some good manufacturer's warranties.
Here are some suggestions to help make a good decision.

Questions to ask your Roofing Contractor about the Manufacturer
Warranty

- Does the supplier's warranty include installation cost or just material cost?

- Is the warranty value worked out based on the original purchase price of the product or on today's replacement cost?

- Is the material warranty performance based or water infiltration based?

Performance based is better.

Keep in mind that if the installers don't install the roofing materials as per the manufacturer's specifications the manufacturer will void the material warranty. So hire a quality minded installation company if you want the manufacturer to back his warranty.
