Free Consultations For Those Considering A New Shingle Roof in Jacksonville, FL

First Coast Roofing and Construction in Jacksonville, FL, has recently announced that they will begin offering free consultations to area homeowners wondering whether or not they require a new roof.

First Coast Roofing owner Bob Roberts explained, "It is vitally important that you get in touch with a licensed roofing contractor to inspect and evaluate the condition of your present roof. It seems as though the First Coast of North Florida has been subjected to one hail storm after another so we have a few answers to some customer questions about roof damage from hail."

He added that Marilyn Stevens of Jacksonville had asked, "Are all homes in a neighborhood affected the same way by hail?" Roberts stressed that "The answer is absolutely not! The number, size and hardness of hailstones can vary tremendously within a small locality. Other factors include velocity and direction of the wind, roof pitch, age and condition. Each roof is different."

First Coast Roofing has assisted hundreds of homeowners by inspecting their roofs for hail damage and assisting them in filing claims with homeowner's insurance companies. Roberts stated, "Of course we replace the roof with the quality we are known for and sometimes for as little as $500! Give us a call for a free consultation or visit us at http://www.firstcoastroofing.com/Roof-Installation-Jacksonville-FL.html if you feel you have damage to your roof!"

With regards to the type of roofing that should be used, Roberts suggested that homeowners allow one of the company's experienced estimators to evaluate the claim from start to finish. "If a customer should choose to upgrade to a longer lasting roofing material, a superior type of shingle can often be installed for a very minimal investment," said Roberts.

He also advises homeowners to check with the state board of contractors and verify that the contractor is licensed by the state of Florida. In addition, they might ask for the contact information of past customers and get their opinions of the work done. They can also check the internet for reviews. Finally, they need to check the contractor's insurance for workman's compensation insurance, general liability insurance for a minimum of 1 million dollars, and vehicle insurance.
