When it comes to any roofing project, it is always important to have a good working relationship with your contractor. After all, you will be inviting them into your home and the success of your project rests heavily on their shoulders.

A&A Services, the leading roofer in Danvers, provides insight on how to get the most from working with your contractor. Here are some helpful tips:

Plan in Advance

Know exactly what you want to achieve with your project. Plan ahead and make all your product selections as early as possible to avoid delays and to stay on budget. Also, be sure to give your contractor a lead time frame based on the scale of the project.

Get a Detailed and Written Contract

This sets the tone for your relationship with the contractor. A detailed contract covers start and end dates, as well as details of what will and will not be done. Due to its importance, you should always make sure to start a project with a clear and written contract.

Communicate Effectively and Regularly

Contractors will work according to your prearranged agreements. However, if anything is unsatisfactory, or you want to include some modifications, let them know straightaway so they can take steps to get it done. Communication will not only create a better working relationship, but can also lead to faster completion of your project.

Know What to Expect

Roofing projects are often exciting, but they can also be noisy and chaotic. Knowing what to expect will help you and your neighbors handle these rigors better. As your trusted contractors for roofing in Danvers, MA, we will exceed your expectations and discuss all the details before the project begins.

Outstanding Reviews

A & A Services installed new sliding doors and removed the old ones. I am so pleased with their professionalism, knowledge, and friendly manner. Everything from start to finish was handled perfectly - there was never a concern about anything. I can certainly recommend A & A services for quality work.

I chose A&A Services for a roof replacement. Rick came out to provide the initial estimate and from then on guided me through the whole process. He was great to work with. No pressure at any time and I was notified every step of the way. No surprises. Aurel and the roofing crew were great too! My roof looks beautiful and more importantly, my house is dry inside! Highly recommend!!

Teresa S.

Very pleased with recently installed storm door by A&A Services. Ed came right out and went over options, pricing & explained process & timeline. Installation was even able to be moved up and completed ahead of schedule! Installer was excellent. Professional, trustworthy service every time with this company. Thank You!

A&A did a very nice job at my house replacing the gutters and downspouts and the main roof and many smaller ones and also the garage roof. They came on time, did a professional job and cleaned up nice when the project was complete. I would definitely use them again.
