Top 3 Reasons Why You Should Work With Local Roofers

Larry Walty II • May 5, 2022

Working with an out-of-town, low-cost roofer sounds like a good deal, but they often come with a greater price down the line. In today’s post, the residential and  commercial roofing contractors  at Larry Walty Roofing & Guttering Inc. discuss the reasons why it’s better to work with local roofers – even if they may cost a little bit more.

Local Roofers Comply With Local Codes

Building codes are in place to ensure the safety of a building. This is why non-compliant buildings are compelled to be torn down or done over. Depending on where you live, there may be building codes that are only applicable to your area – something that local contractors know and will ensure compliance with. Given the cost of getting a new roof, you wouldn’t want to risk a costly do-over by hiring people that do not know applicable building codes.

You Can Count on Local Roofers for Roofing Emergencies

Timely  roof repair  is important, especially if the damage is caused by a storm. You can rely on a local roofer for a quick response during such situations. Timing is important because the sooner your roofer gets to inspect your roof after a storm, the quicker your insurance provider gets started on processing your claim. Out-of-town roofers, on the other hand, will either be difficult to reach or take much longer to get to your premises, if they make an appearance at all.

Local Roofers Won’t Disappear On You

You’ve probably heard of the term “storm chasers,” or roofers that appear right after a storm hits the area, offer impossibly low prices, take the money, and then disappear. If they do perform repairs, it would be very poor and cleverly disguised so you won’t notice until the next time it rains. By then, they’ve moved on and can’t be reached. We local roofers won’t leave you in such a situation. In addition to being an established local business that employs local roofing installers, we stand behind our work with applicable material and workmanship warranties.
