The last thing you want to worry about when you’re running a business or managing your Association, is the roof. That’s why it’s vital to find a commercial roofing expert you can trust. Before you hire the first company you find online, make sure they have the following qualities.

Characteristics of Quality Commercial Roofing Pros

1. License & Insurance

All roofers are legally required to have the proper licensing and insurance, but unfortunately, that isn’t always the case. Be wary of a contractor without a license or insurance. If they get hurt on the job or damage your property, your company or Associationcould end up being liable for medical costs or damages, putting your business at risk financially and legally.

2. Experience

Of course, it’s vital to seek out a roofing contractor with experience. Ask how long they’ve been in business and how many years each team member has been working in the industry. Are they accredited members of the Better Business Bureau? Additionally, you should be able to view recent past projects to see their skill and capability. Inexperienced roofers are prone to costly mistakes, but a commercial roofing expert will have enough experience to foresee potential problems and make recommendations to improve your project.

3. Communication

In any line of work, communication plays a big role in a successful venture. You want a  roofing contractor who responds to emails or phone calls in a timely manner. If you have a change in scope of work or even a simple question about the work being done, they should be able to get back to you within a day or two. Furthermore, quality companies will be happy to keep you apprised of their progress and will be more than willing to answer any questions you may have. 

4. References

Good work speaks for itself, but you should always ask for references. A quality roofer will provide references from past clients or a portfolio to showcase successful projects. Check online for more reviews, and follow up with references once you get them. You’re looking for happy customers who didn’t have to deal with issues like delays, damages, or problems with communication.
