Every industry has its own special terminology, being no exception. To be able to decide whether the candidate you are interviewing to be the contractor for your Dexter MI roofing project is knowledgeable of his trade or is only using fancy terms, here are a few things that you can do:
- A little research – you don’t need to know everything about roofing or to be able to do it all yourself, but knowing exactly what you want is essential. Find out about the basic procedures involved in the project that you need the roofer for and familiarize yourself with the basic terminology;
- Ask for clarifications – if your roofer is speaking roofing language and you have a hard time following, ask him to explain the terms he uses – if he can provide clear, easy to understand definitions, it means that he really knows what he is talking about;
- Check the roofer’s reputation and his references – this is an essential step while vetting roofers. Take the time to ask around what others think about the roofer you want to hire, contact his references for opinions and check his work as well – a good roof stands out and tells a lot about the roofer.
