If it is the first time you must find a good roofer to do some repairs or even a roof replacement on your Centennial, CO home, you have to know a few tips on finding a qualified, reliable contractor.

You will find dozens of them in the Yellow Pages, and even more online. How can you identify one that you can trust?

Before asking yourself this, you should contact a few companies and ask for written estimates. These estimates are free and you allow you to compare prices, payment options and identify the best offers. If a roofer asks you to pay upfront the entire price, remove it from your list and move on to other roofing companies. 10-15 % upfront payment would be acceptable, but not more than this.

Verify the roofer`s local address. It has to be a real office, with a real address, not a PO box. Also, do yourself a favor and ask for proof that the roofer is licensed and insured. Membership in reputable roofing associations is another pro, as it indicated the level of professionalism of a roofer. For example, GAF-certified Centennial roofing companies are considered the best of the best, because they are highly qualified, experienced and go through a screening process each year, to prove they work by the required standards.
