How To Choose a Roofing Contractor. Top 5 Mistakes.
The roofing season is limited in time, so it is in the interests of the team to finish faster and move on to another site. Even highly qualified workers, in the absence of supervision, make and do not correct critical errors.

1. Absence of a technical specialist at the site.

Often customers try to save on construction and negotiate work directly with the contractors - the team, general workers, and auxiliary workers. It should be noted that the team, as a rule, receives piecework for its work, the roofing season is limited in time, so it is in the interests of the team to finish faster and move on to another site. Even highly qualified workers, in the absence of supervision, make and do not correct critical errors.

2. Control over work and purchases by the customer.

In order to save money, customers are increasingly trying to control the construction process themselves. This takes a lot of time that could be spent more productively in your work and life. Workers often lack a small amount of material and, if the customer purchases the materials themselves, they have to leave work at any moment, drop all important matters, in order to provide working conditions for the team. We save our customers' time, the work is controlled by foramen, and we organize additional delivery of materials ourselves. Before signing the contract, we provide our customers with a detailed estimate, specifically for the site, which indicates all the prices and quantities of materials, as well as a list of roofing work to be performed. Before signing the Contract, the customer has the opportunity to check the price and quantity of materials and make sure that he is not being deceived.

3. Incorrectly stated task.

Often, when building a house, the work is divided into several stages. The same is true for roofing. For example, in the first year of construction, a temporary or uninsulated roof is installed (usually in wooden houses before shrinkage), and in the second year - insulation and lining. Cold roofing and attic roofing differ in design only by the presence of one bar and a properly selected waterproofing film. If they are not installed during the first stage, they cannot be installed at the second stage without dismantling. Additional costs for dismantling/installation and materials appear. It is correct to understand from the very beginning what functionality the premises should have. 

4. Use of low-quality materials.

When choosing materials online, the customer first of all pays attention to the cost of materials. We must not forget about the service life of cheap materials. All roofing materials sold have a place on the construction market, but each has its own task - to cover a utility room or build a durable, reliable house. When choosing materials, the customer encounters dishonest sellers whose task is to sell, and not be responsible for the service life of the entire structure. An inexperienced buyer who does not encounter such materials every day will be able to assess only the difference in price, it is not always possible to understand the reliability and quality of the purchased material. Remember - the service life of a structure is calculated by the shortest service life of its components. The Over and Above Contracting company offers its customers only materials with a price-quality ratio "as for themselves".

5. Change of contractors during construction stages.

There are cases when the installation of one, even the simplest roof, is carried out by different involved teams. At the first stage, the rafter system was installed, at the second stage, the roof covering was installed, the third stage - insulation and lining of the eaves overhangs. At the time of the next stage, the team that carried out the previous stage turns out to be busy and the customer begins to look for other options for further construction. This is a gross mistake. In the event of poor quality work by someone at one of the stages, it will be impossible to find those responsible. Therefore, it is correct to carry out all roofing work with one organization. We provide guarantees for all work performed for two years.
