How to choose a roofer in Linwood
In Michigan a roofing contractor needs a residential builder licence or a maintenance and alteration contractor licence with roofing, issued by LARA. Check the name on LARA Verify a License before you pay a deposit.
Ask for a written estimate that names the shingle line, the underlayment, the ice and water barrier at the eaves, the flashing and the ventilation. Two estimates are only comparable when the scope is the same.
Michigan winters cause ice dams. Ask how the roofer handles the eaves and the attic ventilation.
After a storm, read any contract before you sign it. Ask whether it ties you to that roofer if the insurance claim is approved.
Most cities and townships require a permit for a roof replacement. Ask who pulls it and when the inspection happens.
