Do they have a roofing business licence to work in your Mississauga surrounding communities ?
Will they give you references?
Do they have a satisfactory record with the Better Business Bureau in your area ?
Are they willing to put all agreements, promises and understandings in writing, including a detailed description of the exact type of roofing system they propose to install, the payment terms, if any pre-payment is required, if any original materials or components such as flashing will be re-used?
Will they give you a sample of the written warranty for labour and materials that they intend to supply, and include the procedure for making a claim in the future.
