Tell us a little bit about your company and the services you offer.

We have many different services which include: roof replacement, roof repair & maintenance, roof cleaning, roofing insurance claim assistance, windows, and vinyl siding.

Is there something important that people should know about getting an estimate from a roofing company?

That is the time to ask questions! Questions about the full name and address of the company, if they carry insurance, if the company is a licensed or credentialed roofing contractor, how long has the company been in business and what is the company's workmanship warranty.

How do you calculate an estimate and what the cost to re-roof or repair a roof will be?

This is based on MANY factors including number of layers on the current roof, size of the roof, and type of shingle decided upon.

Does an estimate cost money? Are there any extra charges could possibly raise or lower an estimate?

At Adam Quenneville we offer free estimates.

After people receive an estimate, what questions should they ask the roofing company to make sure that everything is included?

As a reminder you should ask the questions above in number two. We also suggest you read the contract VERY carefully. Make sure it is a contract specific for you and your address and not a generic one. Lastly, check references.

What advice do you have for a homeowner who has a limited budget but doesn't necessarily want to go with the company who provided the lowest estimate?

We would recommend finding out about their financing options. Here at Adam Quenneville during the in-house visit, our roofing and siding specialist will help customers find a financing option that works for them. They are trained to use every resource possible to get the best financing available.
