Dublin Roofing Services - Consumer Tips

Need to hire a roofer? These tips will help make your selection process easier.

Knowing the right roofer to hire for your home can be a challenging and confusing task.

Below is a list of helpful tips to assist you in choosing the right roofing contractor and getting the best service for your money.

1. Choose local

Make sure that the company that you choose is local. This means that they are not just operating locally now, but have an established business and reputation in the community.

We have had many calls from customers that have problems within the standard five-year warranty period. The company that they chose to install their roof closed, moved or vanished. It is very easy to provide a piece of paper, but the warranty is only as good as the longevity and reputation of the roofing company.

2. Price isn’t everything

Never choose a company based on price. Cheap bids drive down the market prices and anyone with overheads and proper insurance has to establish pricing to cover such costs.

Those that do work on the side or are just working out of a pick-up truck can always do the work cheaper. But in the long run, you get what you pay for. Customers that use price as their sole criteria ultimately end up spending more money to fix problems, and many of these problems would have been covered under a workmanship guarantee by a reputable established roofing company.

"I used Dublin Roofing Services to undertake a complete overhaul of my roof. As the roof was in a poor state, there was extensive lead work and tiling to be done including re-lining some large box gutters front and back. Dublin Roofing Services carefully explained the work required and why. They completed the job on time, on budget and even took pictures of the work in progress to keep me informed. They are extremely knowledgeable and friendly people to deal with and they do exactly what they say they are going to do.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Dublin Roofing Services to anyone who needs a professional roofing job done."

"I recently had my garage roof (26 feet x 10 feet) and my sun lounge roof replaced by Dublin Roofing Services. Dublin Roofing Services were at my address 3 mornings early and worked tirelessly throughout the day to complete the work. They left the job clean and tidy and the finished job which with a rubber membrane and looks very good indeed.

I would certainly recommend the firm Dublin Roofing Services to anyone who was considering re-roofing their property."

"Dublin Roofing Services replaced our ageing roof for us back in May 2010. Everything was well organised from the start with phone calls to let us know when skips and scaffolding were going to arrive. Amazingly they managed to strip the whole roof in one day! It then only took them a couple of days to replace the slates, install new felt, new battens and complete the mortaring work.

We are thoroughly pleased with the roof and would happily recommend Dublin Roofing Services to anyone who needed roofing work."

"After enquiries to several local roofing contractors, I chose Dublin Roofing Services to retile my house roof and carry out maintenance work on the garage roof. Dublin Roofing Services survey for the work was a true reflection of the actual work that had to be done. There was no hidden or misleading information or costs for the work required on the house and garage roof.

Dublin Roofing Services and their team arrived at the time stated each day and they were always polite and respectful. Dublin Roofing Services and their team have done a very good job on the roof, matching the replacement slate with the existing slate both on the house roof and garage roof.

They are reliable, work efficiently throughout their time on the job site, and I am very happy with the finished job and I would certainly recommend them and use them again.

Thanks to Dublin Roofing Services and their team for a really good job."
