If you’re a business owner seeking roof repairs, replacement, or a new installation, know that commercial roofing poses different challenges than dealing with a residential property. Often utilizing a fundamentally different design than the sloped, shingle-covered style seen on most houses, they also require a different skill set to handle. To ensure a smooth process and lasting results, here are a few tips on what to look for in a contracting company.

Qualities to Look for in a Commercial Roofing Company

1. Licensed & Insured

Most states require a commercial roofing company to be licensed. This means they have submitted documentation proving they have knowledgeable, experienced staff on board, know the current legal codes, and are dedicated to safety. However, this can still be a dangerous line of work. By confirming that the company is insured, you’ll know that there is a process in place for seeking liabilities should an accident occur. Therefore, don’t be afraid to ask the prospective contractor for their paperwork—a reliable service won’t hesitate to present it.

2. Experience

Commercial roofing requires extensive hands-on experience, so look for a company that’s handled jobs like yours before. Working on flat roofs, for example, is entirely different than re-shingling a home—and often, will involve working around elaborate outdoor heating and cooling systems, smokestacks, and other structures related to the business. A qualified roofing company will be able to offer references and show examples of their past work so that you can be confident in their ability to meet the demands of the job.

3. An Office & In-House Service

Many contractors work from home, which should be an immediate red flag. Qualified roofers will have an established office. Furthermore, they should handle all of their matters in-house.
