August 5, 2021 When compared to big-box supply stores, local contractors and companies provide a better deal and a more professional relationship, and do a better job. Local contractors compete to win your service through a combination of recommendations, reviews, local prices and local knowledge. By the laws of supply-and-demand, if a local roofing contractor like Neumann Construction has a successful and growing business in your community, it’s worth getting a quote and checking out the company’s testimonials. There are many advantages to hiring local roofing contractors, and today we double down on five of these benefits. Stay Up to Code Building regulations vary among cities, and they change from time to time. Local roofing contractors are constantly updated with the latest policies and train their crew accordingly. There’s no guarantee that a non-local company is aware of the specific local requirements in place to bring your home to code. Accessibility If you hire somebody from out-of-state, it may be difficult for them to address any issues once the initial work is done. If you hire somebody locally, it may take them only minutes to get to your location in case of any issues or if there is ever an emergency with your roof. Local Experience With years of experience under their belt, local contractors have an intimate knowledge of the type of roofs in the area. They also know what types of problems are common due to the local climate. They’ll be able to advise you on the best plan of action for your roof replacement or repair. Local Resources A local business that’s been established in a community for many years has built up a strong network of resources. This includes material suppliers and other home contractors, such as plumbers, electricians and other trade types. Accountability Finally, consider what might happen if something goes wrong. If your roofing contractors are out of state, how will you get them to honor their warranties? The situation gets worse if you have to file a lawsuit. Lawsuits crossing state lines become far more complicated, difficult and expensive to litigate. Neumann Construction is a local roofing company serving the Brainerd Lakes area.
