- What should a Salem homeowner check before hiring a roofer?
- New Hampshire doesn’t license general contractors, so the burden is on verification: demand a current certificate of insurance naming general liability and workers’ comp, call references from completed jobs — not just the two neighbors they did last month — and confirm the permit gets pulled in your name properly. Border towns see the most fly-by-night activity in the state. We hand over the insurance certificate before work begins because you shouldn’t have to ask twice.
- A storm just hit Salem — should I file an insurance claim for my roof?
- First, document everything: photos of visible damage, the date, and any interior leaking. Then have the roof actually inspected — we do that free and tell you straight whether it’s claim-worthy storm damage or age-related wear insurance won’t cover, which saves you a claim on your record that pays nothing. If it’s a real claim, we’ll meet your adjuster on-site with a detailed estimate. Anyone who offers to “eat your deductible” is breaking NH law with your name on the paperwork — walk away.
