How Do I Find a Roofing Contractor?

So you’ve decided that you’d like to go with a DaVinci Roof — great choice!

The next step is to find a professional who can install our product. If you’re wondering how to choose a roofing contractor, our team has got you covered.

We have independent manufacturer’s reps throughout the country who work closely with roofers who are familiar with our products. DaVinci has a wide variety of resources to help you get started on finding a local roofing contractor, including a team of Project Specialists who will help connect you with the representative in your area.

Even though our roofing materials can be installed by any professional roofer using the detailed instructions in our installation guides, finding the best local pro is important.

Tips on How to Choose the Best Roofing Contractor

Asking friends and family for recommendations of local roofers they’ve used from DaVinci’s contractor locator tool is a great place to start. We recommend asking questions like:

• How was the overall experience with the roofing contractor they used?
• Did the company pick up debris and jobsite leftovers after they completed the project?
• Did they finish the job in the time promised?
• Were there any hidden costs that were not included in their original estimate?

Once you have some first-hand info on these local roofing contractors, visit their website and read online reviews. The goal here is to see if the experience you heard about matches up with what other people in the area have experienced.

Estimates and Choosing a Roofing Contractor

We recommend getting estimates from at least three roofing contractors, which gives you an idea of roofing project prices in your area. It also provides you with perspective on how different roofing professionals handle pricing projects of lightweight roofing materials like ours.

It’s also important to see the way local contractors handle the estimate process and how it compares to the other you received. If there’s a particular roofing contractor that seems like a good fit, ask them for at least three local references you can reach out to.

Choosing the Roofing Material

If you haven’t chosen a profile and color of DaVinci Roofing, you’ll want to get hands-on product samples. Distributors in your area and many local roofing contractors should have samples for you to check out, or we can get some sent directly to you. You can also work with our color consultant for free recommendations of the color of the composite slate or shake that will best suit your home exterior.
