Hiring the right exterior and roofing contractor (questions worth asking)

Exterior work is high-stakes because it protects the structure. Before you sign, ask:

• Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

• How will you document scope and sequence?

• What’s included in the warranty?

• How will you handle discoveries (wood rot, hidden damage)?

• Who is managing communication day-to-day?

• What is the plan for protecting landscaping and keeping the site tidy?

A well-managed exterior project is as much about planning and communication as it is about materials.
