While hiring out of town or even national franchise contractors for remodeling projects is an option, big projects like roof replacement are best left to local roofers. Here, we share the benefits of hiring local roofing contractors for your roofing project.
-
Vetting candidates is much easier – Vetting roofing contractors is much easier when you can drive to their offices in less than 20 minutes and ask your questions face-to-face. They have likely installed, repaired, or maintained the roof of someone you know, therefore inspecting their handiwork shouldn’t take too much time and effort. Local contractors are also more likely to be on time for home consultations.
-
You receive one-on-one interaction – Your home deserves the attention that only local contractors can provide. Large franchise contractors need to delegate work to different representatives and you’ll have to deal with different people during the course of the installation. Local roofers, on the other hand, are typically family-owned, and the owner and upper management are more hands-on with the projects. Processing warranty claims and other post-installation services are also much easier for clients.
-
Local contractors comply with local requirements – One of the more important benefits of hiring locals is they are more familiar with local building codes. We can immediately tell if a project is non-compliant and make corrections as needed. Also, you’ll have the confidence and peace of mind knowing that your local roofer has all the proper licenses and insurance in place.
-
Locals have faster response times – If you’re in the middle of a storm and your roof is sustaining serious damage, waiting it out can make your roof’s condition worse. You need roofers who can come in the shortest time possible, and who can do that better than locals? At Goodrich Roofing, we provide emergency tarping or board-up then later administer repairs once the weather clears.

We care about the community – Local roofers aren’t just businesses but also community members. We believe in giving back to the community that has given us support for all these years; we have since supported local organizations like the Good Shepherd Center Homeless Shelter, PB
