Get quotes from 3 roofers.
Don't hire anyone that states a price without doing some measuring.
Have you decided what quality you want..25 year..30 year..35 year?
When you have selected one,it is appropriate to give a deposit of $ 500- 1000. by cheque.
When the job is finished and you are satisfied, pay the remainder by cheque. It's your proof.
Make sure a contract is drawn up stating all agreements and price as well as finish date.
Don't hire anyone that works at roofing part time.
Your roof should not take more than a few days - there's no "weekly" salary. Most contractors I've dealt with have asked for the payment at the end although I've never had a job which exceeded $6000 so it may be different.
Ask your contractor when you're getting quotes if you have any concerns.
If the regulation became replaced, then you definately does not be entitled to convey at the same time money from the previous hours worked. yet while the business enterprise got here across that they have got been paying you incorrectly (which i might make an knowledgeable wager that somebody else sued them over it, the business enterprise lost and is conserving it quiet) then you definately could be paid each and all of the lower back wages. The stressful area is to teach your hours. you are able to document a declare with the dept of exertions in the event that they're unwilling to pay you.
