How to Choose the Right Roofing Contractor

Home » Our Blog » How to Choose the Right Roofing Contractor

If you’re a homeowner, you know that your roof is one of the most important parts of your home. It protects everything underneath it, from your family to your foundation. But when something goes wrong with your roof, or when it’s time for a replacement or inspection, how do you make sure you’re hiring the right roofing contractor?

At JP Carroll Roofing, we’ve been serving homeowners across Connecticut and Massachusetts since 1987, and we’ve heard the stories of poor workmanship, unreliable contractors, and short-lived repairs. So today, we want to share some honest advice on how to choose the right roofing contractor for your needs, and why we believe we check all the boxes.

How to Choose the Right Roofing Contractor

Look for Local Experience

One of the most important things to look for is a contractor who understands your region’s climate and housing styles. Roofing in New England is different from roofing in the South or out West. You want someone who knows how to handle heavy snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and summer humidity.

We’re based in Bloomfield, CT with additional offices in Danvers and Westfield, MA, so we’re never far from where you are. Our team lives and works in the same communities we serve, and we know exactly what your roof is up against all year round.

Choose a Contractor Based on the Service You Need

Roof Repair

If your roof has a leak, missing shingles, or storm damage, you need fast and reliable roof repair. Don’t just call the first name you find. Look for a roofing company with a proven track record, proper insurance, and a strong warranty.

At JP Carroll Roofing, we handle everything from emergency repairs to routine leak fixes. We provide clear explanations of the problem, honest pricing, and repairs that last, not just a temporary patch.

Roof Installation or Replacement

Installing a new roof is a big investment, so you need a contractor with the right certifications, materials, and installation techniques. Ask if they’re certified by any manufacturers and what kind of warranties they offer.

We’re proud to be a GAF Master Elite Contractor and a GAF President’s Club member. That means our crews are trained to meet the highest standards, and our installations are backed by industry-leading warranties.

Roof Inspections

Thinking of buying or selling a home? Not sure if your roof needs work? A professional roof inspection can give you peace of mind. But it only helps if the person doing the inspection knows what to look for.

Our roof inspections are thorough and honest. We check shingles, flashing, ventilation, and the condition of the structure underneath. If repairs are needed, we’ll show you exactly why and how we’ll fix them.

Check Reviews and References

A good roofing company should have a strong reputation in the community. Check online reviews, ask for references, and see if they stand behind their work.

We’re proud of the feedback we’ve received from thousands of satisfied customers. With over 20,000 successful roof installations, our reputation is built on hard work, attention to detail, and treating every home like it’s our own.

Make Sure They Offer the Full Package

In Connecticut, your roof is just one part of your home’s exterior system. That’s why we offer more than just roofing. JP Carroll Roofing also provides vinyl siding installation and window replacement services. So when you work with us, you’re getting a full-service exterior contractor who understands how everything works together to protect your home.
