Contracts That Lack Specifics
Sometimes, a lot of words can say a whole lot of nothing – which could very well be the case with your current Houston area roof replacement contract.
You see, it’s very easy to drum up a lot of words about promises, workmanship, and things that will (in a perfect world) be done. This is no more true than when roofers are ambiguous about or altogether omit the materials and brands of materials they plan to install on your home.
When looking through your contract, are specific parts, model numbers, and their purpose mentioned? If they are, is your roofer at liberty to talk about their reliability or if they’re name-brand or not?
If not, they are likely skimping out on material quality.
This is why we always specify every material and product that will be installed in your entire roofing system. From the shingles down to the ventilation, you will know the brand name and numbers for everything to be installed above your head.
As we continue our journey in understanding roofing contracts, there’s one more vital matter to discuss – warranties.
Yikes.
But have no fear – we’ll dispel the confusion.
Is There REALLY A Warranty?
A roof is inherently designed to take abuse from the elements – so warranties are vitally important. As such, you should be deeply familiar with your manufacturer’s warranty and how that relates to the contract being presented to you.
Often, roofers will have their workmanship warranties contradict a component’s warranty. Or they’ll simply fail to register material warranties altogether!
The key here is this – many roofers might not have a trusted relationship with their roofing manufacturer. This disconnect can cause warranty chaos later down the line.
But with Houston Roofing and Construction, you get a roof knowing that our top-of-the-line GAF Golden Pledge warranty, only offered to the top 3% of roofers in the nation, is the real deal.
In other words, you have our and GAF’s promise on all material and workmanship warranties in your contract.
Nothing ambiguous. Black and white, and clear as day warranty times that will actually be respected – both workmanship and material.
An Apples To Apples Comparison
We often encounter Houston homeowners in disbelief that a roofer would be so audacious as to slyly undercut them in their contract. We know how disheartening, discouraging, and downright unbelievable this can be.
The unfortunate reality is that it does happen.
Here’s what to do if the final quote seems too good to be true: let us help compare it directly to our quote and see for yourself. Our side-by-side contract comparison will reveal if they are using lower-quality materials or leaving something out.
In the court of roofing, you could consider us your top-level representation.
