One of the biggest hurdles that homeowners are faced with when getting their roof fixed or replaced is the person of the specialist who will handle the project. If you live in an area where there are many roofers, all of them claiming to be the best, here are some tips for you to make it easier for you to choose the contractor that is, indeed, the best for your project:

- Rely on local Centennial roofing referrals – talk to everyone you know, including friends, family and neighbors, and ask them to tell you about any roofers they know or have worked with. That way, you will have a great starting point for your search and a list of pre-verified contractors;

- Check the roofers on your list on the internet – most of them will probably have their own websites and you will also be able to find reviews and ratings about them, too. Check the pictures and the testimonials on those roofing websites – they will tell you how good the roofer is and what previous customers think about his work;

- Contact the roofers in person – personal contact is also very revealing and it gives you a great opportunity to check the roofer’s portfolio, credentials, certificates, licenses and insurance policies. At the end of the meeting, request a written cost estimate that comprises all the details of the project.
