Maybe the first thing you should do is inform or educate your self on the type of roofing systems you have.

OK so now that you have done some research, and after learning a bit about roofing, it's time to turn to the professionals.
First you might want to check with family or friends you might have in the area, or your neighbors and see who they use, and if their happy with them. Be sure to ask if they would hire the company again, or whether they'd be likely to choose another roofing contractor, and if they were not likely to use the same company again then you know not to even consider them.

All so, repeatable slate and tile roofing companies will have a permanent business address and phone number, along with a tax ID. It's important to see proof of your roofing contractor's liability and workers' comp insurance policies to ensure that the homeowners won't be held responsible in the event of an accident. It's also standard to check that they have a legitimate business license from Georgia.
Most repeatable slate and tile roofing contractors will be members of regional or national industry associations which keep them up to date on changes in the industry.While it isn't necessarily a deal-breaker if the roofing company isn't a member, it is something to consider.

The Better Business Bureau is another source homeowners can use to uncover any complaints that have been filed about the company in the past. Whats great about the Better Business Bureau is that you don't have to be a member for them to have complaints logged against them. Finally, all roofing contractors should be able to provide references from several of their previous jobs. Other online services provide such information such as Angie's list, Kudzu and Yelp. Yelp is a popular new comer to this type of search. Although they must be members of the ones just mentioned to find out anything about them, you will find that most repeatable slate and tile roofing contractors will be members of these out lets, for they have nothing to hide.
