NEED TO HIRE A ROOFER?
NEED TO HIRE A ROOFER?
1. INSURANCE IS A MUST
Make sure that your contractor has worker’s compensation
and liability insurance. Ask to see the certificates and actually
call the insurance carrier to confirm that they are valid.
This keeps all bids on a level playing field, knowing that part
of the cost of the roof and the service being provided to you is
protected with the security of coverage.
2. CHOOSE A LOCAL CONTRACTOR
Make sure that the company that you choose is local. This
means that they are not just operating locally now, but have
an established business and reputation in the community.
We have had many calls from customers that have problems
within the standard five-year warranty period. The company
that they chose to install their roof closed, moved or
vanished. It is very easy to provide a piece of paper, but the
warranty is only as good as the longevity and reputation of
the roofing company.
3. PRICE ISN’T EVERYTHING
Never choose a company based on price. Cheap bids drive
down the market and anyone with overhead and proper
insurance has to establish pricing to cover such costs.
Those that do work on the side or are just working out of a
pick-up truck can always do the work cheaper. But in the long
run, you get what you pay for. Customers that are sold on
price as their sole criteria ultimately end up spending more
money to fix problems, and many of these problems would
have been covered under a workmanship guarantee by a
reputable established roofing company.
4. AVOID STORM CHASERS
Steer clear of the knock-on-the-door, “We were in your
neighborhood” roofers. This is just canvassing and selling. Pick
a roofer from a referral or a sign in your area that has a
satisfied client on the other end. If you are approached by this
technique, call your agent and ask for a recommendation. The
majority of these roofer will tell you that you have storm
damage and have you sign a letter of intent. Don’t be
pressured by forceful tactics. You never have to sign an intent
letter. Wait to see the contracts and take your time in
reviewing.
5. GET JOB DETAILS IN WRITING
Both belong to you and you should be in control. We suggest
that you don’t give funds until the work is complete. Make
sure that you are satisfied with the result and that the terms
of payment were discussed prior to the job and adhered to by
both parties. Make sure that you ask how long a job will take. You need to have a clear idea of what size crew that they have and a
completion day.
6. COMMUNICATION IS PARAMOUNT
Did they return your calls? Did they send the documentation
that you asked them to send? Did they follow through? If you
answered “no” to these questions, then make sure you
communicate your concerns to the company representative.
If they still can’t make good, walk away. Communication is
key to every business. If you aren’t getting what you need on
the front end when they are trying to get your business, what
will happen once you have committed the work to them?
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Bay Roofing and Exteriors Ltd. Is committed to 100% customer satisfaction both in terms of quality and customer
experience. We strive to remove any unpredictability and avoid potential issues by providing customers with a clear
understanding of the proposal terms up front by helping customers understand issues that can arise during re-roofing.
- Proposals generally plan for removal of one layer of shingles, which is normal for most roofs. In some cases
(normally older structures) it may not be possible to identify more than one layer of shingles at time of
estimating without exposing the roof. In such cases it is appropriate to negotiate additional charges with the
owner before completing the job since the contractor will incur additional shingle removal and dumping fees as
a result.
- Similarly, removal and replacement of wood decking (normally plywood or supporting roof joints) in some
instances, cannot be known until the roofing tiles and underlayment, vents, or drip edge have been removed
and underlying deck exposed. In this situation, because these extras cannot necessarily be determined at time of
estimating, it is again appropriate to negotiate additional charges to cover the additional costs of labor and
materials necessary to do a quality job. Wherever possible, the contractor will identify the problem and attempt
to quantify the level of work and estimated cost. However, until the entire roof deck is exposed (ie all shingles
and underlayment removed), it will not be fully possible to know the exact extent of deck damage (normally
caused by water leakage over time).
- In some instances, removal of TC antennas or satellite dishes are required to complete the removal and
replacement of a roof. The customer acknowledges that unless otherwise agreed, the contractor is not
responsible for re-installing such antenna or dish to ensure that the signal is being properly received.
-The owner agrees to provide the contractor with reasonable hours of availability for work, normally not earlier
than 7am and normally not later than 8pm unless necessary to finish a roof and not leave it exposed to
possibility of rain or wind and resulting damage.
-The owner acknowledges that any other damage roof components (ie chimney) due to aging, is not the
contractor’s responsibility for repair unless otherwise set out in the proposal. The contractor will notify the
customer where such required repair is identified during the roofing process and a determination made if the
owner requires the contractor to proceed with the repair and an estimate given by the contractor prior to
proceeding.
-The contractor acknowledges that the work completion will conform to industry and technical specifications
required to provide for proper functioning of all aspects of roofing systems standards including ventilation,
structural integrity, and quality of work. Where the customers requests contract conditions, changes, or
materials not recommended by the contractor, the parties acknowledge that such request or changes may void
the warranty if damages result in connection with the departure.
-Ice buildup can occur in inadequately insulated building attic spaces creating leakage issues as water is caught by
the ice and backs up and finds its way under the tiles. This is typically referred to as ice-damming and is not a
roofing contractor quality issues (rather a construction issue) and would not be covered under the warranty.
- The customer will provide a safe working area such that the contractor and employees can efficiently and
properly complete the work contracted. Children and pets should be kept away from the work site near the eave
of the roof where objects may be falling to the ground or tools and sharp debris may be in the process of being
cleaned up. For safety reasons, the work area should also be free of animal droppings which can get on ladders,
boots, and tools.

SEAMLESS EAVESTROUGH WITH LEAFGUARD
INSTALLED ON AN EXISTING TROUGH SYSTEM
Debris in summer: When an eavestrough is clogged by leaves and debris, water cannot drain, and will automatically flow toward the home, causing water infiltration. The Gutter Clean System stops leaves and debris from clogging the gutter, reducing water infiltration.
In winter: The Gutter Clean System lets eavestroughs function normally throughout the year. A rain gutter clogged by snow and ice in the winter does not function correctly. During rains or warmer weather, water will seep into the home since it cannot be drained by the rain gutter.
Made from Weatherproof aluminum: Does not rust, crack, chip or warp. Alurex leafguard does not fall into the eavestrough under the weight of snow and debris.
Wintersheild Technology: SNOW AND ICE REMAIN ON TOP OF THIS PRODUCT! You rain gutters will drain normally when it rains or the weather warms up. Protect from the expansion of ice as it thaws and refreezes inside of the eavestrough.

Water will inevitably leak into roof and foundations. T-Rex prevents leaves and debris from clogging the eavestrough, keeping water from seeping into your home.
In winter: T-Rex helps rain gutters function normally throughout the year. An eavestrough that is clogged with snow and ice cannot work. When it rains or the weather warms up, water will seep into the house since it cannot be drained by the eavestrough.
