Cascade Roofing: Teacher

Snow Load on a Roof

Can you tell if this is an old roof or a new roof? Does this roof need repair or a whole new roof? Most customers are not real familiar with the ins and outs of their roof. If it is not leaking or large roofing pieces are not flying off in the wind, then they are fine with just knowing their roof is up there.

But when you suspect something is up with your roof, like stains on the ceilings, roofing debris in the gutters or yard, or maybe all the neighbors have recently installed new roofs, it may be time to have a professional come out and explain what he or she sees. That’s where the teaching part is so important.

Getting someone out to your home that knows roofing and has good intentions can be a real problem. What I mean by good intentions, do you feel that they are providing you accurate information regarding the condition of your roof and what options are available to you? That’s where teaching comes in. Before proposals are written up and contracts signed, you the customer need to be educated about your current roof and which options may be best for your situation.

Home Improvements, especially big expensive projects, are not a one size fits all. So take some time and find a roofing company that takes the time to get to know your wants and expectations. A roof is a big investment.
