Olathe roof repair is one of the biggest concerns for local homeowners. Storm damage, water leaks, algae formation, mold, moisture build up and small animal infestation can become a major headache if not handled promptly and professionally. A clean roof in good repair is not only the best way of safeguarding your biggest investment, but it also offers better curb appeal. Unfortunately, all roofing contractors do not have the homeowner’s best interests at heart. Some have nestled into Olathe because there are so many storms and so much potential capital. Angie’s List offers the following advice for protecting yourself from getting ripped-off.

Areas That May Require Olathe Roof Repair

• Fascia: The front board along roofs is prone to excessive moisture.
• Flashing: The metal material surrounding pipes, vents, chimneys and seams is prone to leaking.
• Gutter: Over time, it’s common to see evidence of ice damming or water damage in gutter systems. Sometimes gutters pull away from the house, causing other damages in need of repair.
• Shingles: Shingles are prone to discoloration, curling and holes if there has been lots of severe hail storms, high winds and crisp hot sun. Sometimes the shingles don’t always last the lifetime of their stated warranty.
• Soffit: If small animals or insects are your problem, then your Olathe roof repair will probably require soffit replacement. Cracks, holes and rotting may invite pests to set up shop in your precious piece of real estate.

What Your Contract Should Include:

Every contract should stipulate the cost, the payment terms, the expected start and finish date, a brief description of what you’ll have done, which manufacturer’s materials they’ll use, the length of the warranty you’ll be getting and any additional charges.

How To Prevent Roof Repair Rip-Offs

Before hiring a contractor, make sure they are licensed by the National Association of State Contractors.  Don’t be afraid to ask to see concrete proof of liability insurance and worker’s compensation. Get references for suppliers they do business with to find out what sort of characters these people are. You may also run a credit check to make sure they have a track record of paying shingle manufacturers (so you don’t get stuck footing the bill!) Be sure to get at least three written estimates before making a decision and really read over what you’ve been given. Don’t just automatically assume the lowest price is the best deal. Ask for addresses of former clients so you can drive by and have a look. Be sure your localcontractors have a local address (and they aren’t just “storm chaser” opportunists coming to town to rob you blind!) Lastly, never make large upfront payments. Take your time and hire the right roofing company.
