Also, if you need any kind of permit in your area for construction, find out if the bid includes applying for and paying for the permit. You know, compare apples to apples.

A lot of the contractors who bid jobs here in Topeka advertise that they are insured. I would imagine any reputable roofer would offer contracts and warranty their work. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lee A. Stone To: Blind Handyman Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2007 9:11 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Hiring a contractor I am being pressured by my homeowners insurance company to get a new roof installed. My question is , is it standard procedure to have a roofing contractor supply a written contract ? Another thought is does that roofing contractor need to show you a liability policy or is that roofing work covered under your home owners policy. Originally I was going to get a cheaper job done as I want to sell and move up out of this valley but after rethinking this I will get the better grade 30 year shingles once suggested by Dale. Oh, toss in one more question. that roof ridge vent . do you know if those are taken off during the new job or does it need to come off and be replaced. thanks Lee -- File cabinet: A four drawer, manually activated trash compactor.
