Checklist for Finding a Commercial Roofer

While spring showers may bring flowers, they also bring roof leaks. As property and business owners, you must be very careful in choosing the best company and selecting a top-quality contractor when it comes to commercial roofers.

Whether we installed it or not, our team will help preserve the investment of your roof by using only the highest quality materials. We specialize in installing and maintaining the most suitable roof for your commercial building. Your roof is a substantial investment and should be designed and installed by trained, experienced commercial roofing professionals. You are probably unfamiliar with the right products to use, and the procedures that best address your roofing needs. As such, it is important to know that you can trust the roofing contractor you select to offer you the best advice about the products and procedures that may be unfamiliar to you.

Proper Licenses and Certificates

For every practicing field, there are rules and regulations. Dealing with an unlicensed contractor may be tempting when a roofer offers a low price. However, any damage done will be your responsibility. They must provide proof that they are licensed in your state. This is very vital if there is ever an accident while they are doing work on your property. A professional roofer should not object to giving copies of State and Local licensing. Also, remember to get proof of General Liability Insurance and Workers Compensation. When you get a copy of the Liability Insurance certificate, call the insurance company to validate it.

Referrals

One of the best methods of verifying reputation is through referrals. Every company will say they are the best. To get an accurate idea of what your experience will be, make sure that the referral has had a building like yours. It is very important to ask the company for a list of references. You will be able to call everyone to make sure the company you choose is the best one in the area.

Lowest Bidder Is Not Always the Greatest Value

You need to be aware of how bidding and estimating works. As the saying goes, “You get what you pay for.” It’s just a good idea to talk to several contractors before you decide who is the best one. Hiring the right company for the job, even if this isn’t the lowest bidder, can save you headaches and thousands of dollars down the road because the job will be done right the first time.

Ask Questions

Although you might not know anything about EPDM roofs, there are still enough questions you can ask. For instance, ask how long the company has been in business. Most companies with sloppy work and poor reputations don’t last for very long. The roofing company you select should have at least five years of experience. Remember, a quality company will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Variety of Options

Any roofing job is going to be expensive. A roof replacement can cost up to $100,000, therefore, you need to look for companies that offer different packages that are excellent and affordable.
