Roof replacement projects can generally be expensive, but when comfort and safety are your priority, a roof replacement is a wise choice overall. Roofs are important to the structural integrity of your house, and making sure they are built sturdy and resilient against the elements is a must. And now that your old roof needs a replacement, you’re looking for the best results with the lowest price out there. And you’ve found some very low bids that look too good to be true. Is it okay to take them? What are the risks involved with accepting low roofing bids?
Lacking Proper Workmanship and Ethics
It is common for shady and unscrupulous low bidders to perform at a suboptimal level. After all, they’re working for a very cheap price, so why would they want to produce high-quality work that isn’t worth the bid they gave? They cut corners and avoid costly work ethics, not to mention that it is common for low roofing bids to be done by fewer people to get bigger cuts for themselves. It’s also very possible that they deliberately underbid and underestimated the number of labor hours needed to finish tasks involved in the project, ending up with half-hearted results born from shoddy workmanship.
Cheap Materials
Another common thing about low roofing bids is the cheap and unreliable materials these roofers use. They mostly get new homeowners who are looking to save on their budget or uninformed clients who did not perform research involving roofing projects. They usually use unknown brands with insufficient data and reviews to produce low-quality work that matches their low roofing bid, which will end up costing homeowners a lot more regarding the repairs that need to be done when the roof inevitably breaks down. Always choose contractors that use well-known brands with proven quality.
Warranty Problems
Contractors who have low roofing bids reduce the quality of their materials and services, including the warranties. They usually offer unclear and bare minimum warranties that don’t cover the after-effects of their poor work, such as coverage costs for tear-offs, disposal, improper workmanship and other essential warranties that will help you. When it comes to the welfare of one of your most important investments, which is your house, don’t sacrifice quality for a cheaper choice. If you can’t avail of a standard contractor that offers proper warranties, hold off on your roofing project, and save up or find other ways until you reach the threshold.
