How to choose a Lowell roofing company

We’ve given you the rundown on just four roofing companies you can consider in Lowell, but the right contractor for you will depend on factors like the services needed, your budget, and the kind of roof you have.

As you search for the right roofing company in Lowell for your needs, here are some useful questions to ask:

Is the company BBB accredited? You can use the

BBB website

to check a roofing company’s accreditation status and rating, as well as customer reviews and complaints.

What services are offered? It can be discouraging to request an estimate from a contractor, only to find out they don’t actually offer the services or materials you were looking for. If you have a unique roof type or other specialized work in mind, it’s a good idea to look for contractors with expertise in that area. If you’re hoping to tackle more than one home improvement project at once, it can be convenient to have the option of hiring a contractor who’s qualified to take care of each one.

How urgent are the repairs needed? Roof leaks and other damage rarely happen at convenient times. That makes roofing companies that offer 24/7 emergency repair services a big plus.

Do they offer financing? Roof repairs can cost thousands of dollars, which can make them difficult to cover out of pocket. When that’s the case, financing your repairs directly through your roofer can be a convenient option. Just be sure to understand the loan terms and conditions before signing on and compare their options with those offered by other lenders.

How’s the customer service? Considering your roof is one of the most vital parts of your home’s structure, you’re going to want to be able to trust the roofing contractor you hire. Reading customer reviews across a variety of platforms can give you an idea of what past customers’ experiences have been like with a particular company. Friends, family members, and colleagues may be able to offer you recommendations, too.

HO-3 insurance: What it is, what it covers

Will home insurance cover a new roof?

According to

HomeGuide

, you can expect a roof replacement to cost between $4,700 to $10,400, but it will depend on the size and complexity of your roof and the materials you plan on using. If this is an unexpected expense, this could put you in a tough financial position.

That said, your home insurance policy could cover all or some of the costs of your roof replacement depending on your home insurance policy details and the reason your roof needs to be replaced.

Under a standard home insurance policy, the damage has to have been caused by a named peril as listed in your policy. Common named perils include hail, fallen objects, fire, and windstorms.

However, if your roof needs to be replaced due to general wear and tear, you probably won’t receive coverage from your home insurance policy.

That makes it important to get routine roof inspections so you can fix minor repairs before they become more costly. That can extend the life of your roof and save you plenty of money in the long run.

ProTip When choosing a home insurance policy, be sure to make sure you understand what is and isn’t covered—and whether there are certain exceptions—so you have a better idea of what to expect when home repairs are needed.
