If the asphalt shingles show signs of cupping, fishmouthing, cracking, or curling it\u2019s time to hire an asphalt roofing contractor and replace the old shingles.<\/p>\n<p>Hiring an asphalt roofing contractor can be a bit of a challenge. Large home improvement centers offer roofing contractor services, however they often don\u2019t use the best roofing contractors. In addition, the home improvement centers are also known to have unique restrictions.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>For example, if you have a home with a separate room addition attached to it with its own roof, and you only want to shingle either the main home or the addition, the home improvement center often won\u2019t bid on the job. They only want the business if they can re-shingle all of roofs on the property. Crazy, but it\u2019s a fact. I\u2019ve personally had this situation occur.<\/p>\n<p>Blindly hiring an asphalt roofing contractor from the phone book or off the internet can also be a crap shoot. Asphalt roofing contractors seem to come and go with the weather, and it\u2019s not surprising. Roofing is a dangerous and hard job, so it\u2019s hard to find guys that have been doing it for a long time. Young guys that get into the roofing business often either get hurt or find a new line of work.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><strong>How to Hire a Roofing Contractor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So for all of these reasons it\u2019s extremely important to do your homework when searching for a roofing contractor. Your best bet for finding an asphalt roofing contractor is to first talk to your family and friends in your local area to see if they\u2019ve recently used one that they can vouch for. If they can provide you with a roofing contractor name ask the contractor to quote your project, however still do further background checks on the contractor, even though you\u2019ve got a referral from a family member or friend. One positive experience doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you\u2019ll have a similar one.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6455\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roof_Installation-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Notice the ice and watershield installed during this Asphalt Roof Shingle Installation.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roof_Installation-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roof_Installation.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Background checks should include contacting the state or local better business bureau to confirm that the contractor is indeed licensed and insured, and has no complaints against him. Also, ask the prospective contractor for a list of references and call several of the names on the list.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\">Shingling a roof also typically requires getting a permit from your local municipality. Make sure any prospective roofing contractor you interview is familiar with your local building codes and that they are capable and willing to pull the necessary permits. You may also want to visit your local building inspector to see if they are familiar with the asphalt roofing contractor you are considering hiring.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the roofing work actually occurring make sure you have a written contract in hand from the asphalt roofing contractor you plan to hire. Both you and the contractor should sign the contract and it should be explicit with the work to be performed, who\u2019s performing the work, when it will be completed, and what the payment terms are. Do not accept any verbal contracts. Also make sure you clearly understand the warranties associated with the contract and how the old shingle and scrap material will be discarded. Moreover, make sure the contract specifies how the home and adjacent plants and shrubbery will be protected during the roofing work.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/asphalt-shingle-roofing-bid-sheet\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6302\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roofing_Bid_Sheet_CP-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Asphalt Shingle Roofing Bid Sheet\" width=\"311\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roofing_Bid_Sheet_CP-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roofing_Bid_Sheet_CP.jpg 384w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 311px) 100vw, 311px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Finally, take your time when searching out and hiring an asphalt roofing contractor.
