A residential or commercial property owner can do whatever it takes to fix a serious problem in an emergency. Although word of mouth referrals can help you find fast help, they do not necessarily mean that you are working with licensed professionals. These unlicensed workers are known for being quick and inexpensive, and you often get what you pay. Unlicensed roofers can have serious consequences when it comes to hiring them. You don’t want to rush with a roofer who is not licensed.
Inappropriate paperwork
Proper licensing is essential for the successful execution of large-scale projects, as we have already mentioned. Because it is costly to obtain and maintain overtime, casual roofers won’t have the proper paperwork. You can ensure that your roofers have the proper licensing and insurance to work on your property. You are not covered for poor workmanship, damage or accidents on your property if the roofing company isn’t licensed in your state. If something goes wrong, the paperwork will protect you and your roofers.
No warranties
Unlicensed roofers will likely not offer a warranty policy that covers both the materials and the work done. It may take several months or even years to notice damage if a contractor has installed your roof incorrectly. Most mistakes are not covered by private insurance. The warranties of roofers can differ depending on their reputation, so make sure you verify that the warranty agreement covers your roofing services.
Legal issues
After a serious roofing problem or a renovation, the last thing you want to worry about is a legal matter. The State of Florida can fine you for hiring an unlicensed contractor. Property visitors may also be injured on construction sites. Property owners are not protected by legal protection, licenses or insurance.
Do your research before you hire a roofing company. A licensed roofing company with the proper documentation and insurance can complete a top-notch residential or commercial roofing job.
