Success in Charlotte getting estimates on my roof repair

Results from a pre-purchase home inspection when I bought my house eight years ago estimated 10 years of life left in the asphalt shingle roof, so I was not too surprised to find loose shingles on the ground the morning after the wind storm. Realizing I would need to fix my damaged roof before the next rainstorm, I set about getting estimates on my roof repair.

Go local, and go for value

I believe that supporting the local economy is a good reason to hire local roofing companies to fix my damaged roof, so I opened the yellow pages to see what the Charlotte and Concord NC areas have to offer by way of roof repair companies. There are a lot of Charlotte area roofing companies who would like to fix my damaged roof.  How was I going to find someone local to give me a fair deal? If I was going to get roof estimates before the next rain, I needed a quicker way.

Word of mouth references

Angie’s List provide customer reviews, the website also includes information about each roofer, like whether they will do repairs as well as new roof installations, how long they have been in business, what licenses they hold, whether they are insured and bonded, and so on. After reviewing a few that include Concord NC in their service area, I made a few phone calls and asked for free roof estimates to repair the storm damage to my roof.

Success!

Getting estimates on my roofrepair was easy, now that I knew who to call, and selecting which roofers would fix my damaged roof was easy, too, after meeting the very professional representative from Advanced Roofing and Exteriors in Charlotte. I received two estimates; one for immediate repairs from the storm damage, and one for full roof replacement. Both roof estimates were thorough and detailed, and I felt confident making comparisons to the estimates offered by the other companies I had called.

My plan is to have Advanced Roofing and Exteriors fix my damaged roof, before another storm arrives, and to schedule a more permanent solution to potential storm damage; namely, a new roof, later this year.
