Our first podcast: 7 things to check before hiring a roofer
G'day,
The first episode of the AustralianRoofers.com Podcast is live: How to choose a roofer in Australia.
It's a short, practical walk-through of seven things that actually matter when you're picking who works on your roof:
- Verifying a roofer's licence on your state regulator's public register
- The two kinds of insurance to confirm before anyone steps on your roof
- How to compare itemised written quotes — and why the cheapest often leaves the most out
- Workmanship vs materials warranties, and the all-important question of what voids them
- Matching the roofer to your roof type — tile, Colorbond and slate are genuinely different trades
- Reading Google reviews properly — look for patterns, and for how a firm handles problems
- Treating how a roofer communicates as a preview of the whole job
