Introduction
Finding the right roofing contractors in Northern
Virginia can be quite difficult at times. A
beautiful home isn't worth a dime if it doesn't
have a good roof, and you won't be able to get a
good roof without a good contractor. Use these
tips to help you find the best contractor in your
area. With the right tools, an okay roof can turn
into a great roof.

• Never try to repair a roof in the rain or snow.
  Climbing onto a roof when the weather is poor
  could result in injury or even death. Instead, do
  your best to contain the leak from inside your
  home with tarps and buckets, and wait until the
  weather improves before climbing on to the roof.

• Don't choose a roofing company based on only the
  price. Price isn't a reliable indicator of what
  company is best for your roofing needs. There are
  times when you might be offered some rebates and
  discounts that could lower the price. Try taking
  the time to make calls, read over contracts and
  written estimates, and ask questions that you
  have before making your final decision.

• Never use bleach to clean your roof. While bleach
  is something that is very effective at cleaning
  many areas of your home, it should never be used
  to clean your roof. This is because the chemicals
  found in bleach are corrosive, and they may cause
  a lot of damage to the roofing materials.

• Don't get discouraged if you can't locate the
  source of a leak on your roof. By utilizing a
  water hose and some help, you will eventually
  find it by a process of elimination. If your
  house is large, talk on cell phones in order to
  prevent unnecessary deluges of water during
  testing.

• Do not hire the first roofer that you talk to.
  The only way to get the best deal is to talk to
  several different people and see what your
  options are. In general, five bids is a good
  number. Any less than that, and you are probably
  selling yourself short.

• Always make sure your roofing contractor carries
  the proper insurance. Roofing can be dangerous
  work, and you want to make sure your contractor
  is covered in case of an emergency. If he is not,
  the cost could fall on you or your homeowners
  insurance. Ask to see the policy, and don't just
  take his word for it.

• Don't be too tempted by sales or special offers.
  While it is great to get a deal on your roof,
  that is not the only reason that you should
  select a certain company or roofer. Although
  operating within a budget is important, you still
  need to make sure that a knowledgeable
  professional performs the work.
