Some things are inevitable when you own a commercial building. One of them is commercial roof damage.
It’s pretty simple: If you have a roof, eventually you will need the services of a roofer. When that time comes, make sure the roofer you hire meets certain criteria. Failure to hire a reliable, reputable roofer will almost always end in disaster.
Qualities of a Good Roofer
When it comes to your commercial roof, who you hire matters. A lot.
An inexperienced roofer peddling cheap prices for work performed should be an instant red flag to you. Many a building owner has lived to rue the day they hired the cheapest roofer available. If someone quotes you a significantly cheaper price than the competition, the likely reason is inexperience (or a long history of bad jobs that isn’t mentioned)—regardless, it almost always leads to improper workmanship.
When you’re looking to hire a roofing company, here are some of the qualifications you should always check for:
- Current insurance
- Positive references
- Professionally trained technicians
- Warranty options & guaranteed work
- Certification from the roofing manufacturer whose products they use
- Membership in & endorsement from a reputable industry association
If a roofer doesn’t meet most or all of these criteria, you definitely need to keep shopping.
