Why The Cheapest Roofing Quote Isn’t Always The Best

When you're getting quotes for work on your home, it's always tempting to just go with the cheapest, or just choose the 'middle' estimate. But price alone won't tell you if your roofing contractor is using quality products.  

Do not choose a roofing contractor just because their price is low. You need to make sure they are using quality products so that you don't end up needing a roof replacement sooner than anticipated.

Why are some roofing quotes so cheap?

To be the cheapest, some contractors compromise quality in order to save money. However, with cheaper materials, the life expectancy of your roof will likely be reduced. Opting for the cheapest can sometimes mean that you are getting lower-quality products that need replacing sooner.

This means in the long run, you'll spend way more. And that middle quote might be the same cheap materials with a higher labor cost attached. Getting the best value for money means understanding exactly what you're getting, including the quality of the materials your roofing contractor is using.

There's also the cost of labor to consider. When you use low-cost labor, the quality of your roof suffers; this will cost you more money in the long run with repairs and ultimately a total roof replacement. Getting the cheapest roof possible may appear to be a good idea. However, keep in mind that a roof is a long-term investment.

Find a roofing contractor that cares about quality

A quality roof is one of the most important investments you can make for your home. Not only does it protect you and your family from the elements, but it also adds value to your property. That's why it's important to make sure that you use a reputable roofing contractor who uses quality products.

At Pace Roofing, we use top-quality products because we know just how important your roof is. For example, when we install your rubber roof we use Firestone white granulated rubber roofing because it is hardwearing and low maintenance. Unlike other options, it won't need a coating every three years, making it a low-maintenance option too. So if you're looking for a rubber roof that will last, Firestone white granulated rubber roofing is the product for you.

We also install copper eve boxes with every job - because they last five times longer than their aluminum counterparts.

Want even more value for your money? We install edge metal and downspouts at no extra cost on every job, and free skylights with every full installation.

When you're choosing a roofing contractor, make sure to ask about the quality of their products. A reputable contractor will be happy to talk to you about the materials they use and why they chose them. At Pace Roofing, we use only the best quality products because we want our customers to be happy with their roofs for years to come.
