Before you begin any major roofing project, talk to your contractor about the type of roof you want, the cost and expected duration of the project, and warranty options. Asking the right questions beforehand can give you a better understanding of what to expect from the project. And it will let you know whether or not your contractor is as trustworthy as Pearl City's Tory's Roofing & Waterproofing.

Located on Oahu, Tory's Roofing & Waterproofing is a family built roofing contractor business that has been serving their community since 1972. Their honesty and professionalism have earned them a great reputation, cemented by their certification with the Better Business Bureau, the Roofing Contractors Association of Hawaii, and Associated Builders and Contractors Inc.

Tory's Roofing advises that you ask contractors some specific questions before you hire them:

•  Ask whether or not they are licensed and insured, and ask to see their license. If they aren't licensed or insured, then you may be held accountable for any accidents that occur on your property.
• Ask how long they've been in business. The longer they've been around, the more likely it is that they're experienced and have a good standing in the community, like Tory's Roofing & Waterproofing.
• Get an on-site estimate of both the projected cost and duration of the project, and make sure any work they do is covered by a warranty. If they seem wary about any of these details, don't hire them.
• Never let the contractor pick a roof for you. While you should ask for their advice, you should be the one making that decision, as opposed to someone who may not have your best interests in mind.
