Getting Your Bid from a Wellington Roofing Company

Once you have a few companies in mind, it’s time to ask for some bids. Ask for a bid from each roofing company you feel comfortable with. Some people say the more bids the better but this is not necessarily true. If a roofing company feels there is too much competition he may simply walk away. In actuality, a well known roofing company could have other clients waiting while you're still in the decision process, thus you may lose a bid from the most qualified West Palm Beach roofing company. So select just a few contractors and select the best roofing company for the bidding process. 

Remember when asking for a bid, you don’t want just a slip of paper with a number on it. You want an itemized list of what everything will cost including all materials and labor. Give each company a list of what you want to see in all the bids. By doing this you should receive quotes that are based on the same work, making them easier to compare. If one bid is significan'tly lower than another you’ll be able to pinpoint exactly where the differences are. 

The lowest bid is not always the best deal nor is the highest bid going to guarantee you’ll get the best service or materials. You want a good combination of price and service. If one bid seems considerably lower than the others ask the roofing company why. One roofing company may simply have lower overhead, fewer workers or a better source for materials and this savings can often be passed on to the customer but make certain the roofing company can back up any claims he makes. 

Once you’ve found the company you feel is right for the job, you’ll need to work up a contract.
