3 Things to Look For In Commercial Roofing Companies

Are you worried about the state of your commercial roofing? There are few things more costly and stressful as a business owner than dealing with a leaky or damaged roof. It’s important to quickly identify the damage and remediate it as soon as possible to minimize further problems. Before you go hiring the first commercial roofer you find on Yelp, there are a few considerations you should make to maximize your benefit. We at Certified Roofers & General Contractors, Inc. in beautiful Riverview have compiled a short list of issues to consider as you search for the perfect commercial roofing company to fit your needs. 

Cast a Wide Net For Roofing Companies

To start, make sure that you thoroughly research and check all the credentials of the company in question. Whether you begin your search on Yelp, BBB, or Angie’s List, there will be a multitude of reviews and testimonials to sift through. Also make sure that they are a licensed roofing company. You can check and see if they have dealt with roofing issues similar to the one you’re experiencing as well as their established history. If everything checks out, graduate them to the next step and give them a call. Don’t forget your family and friends may also have recommendations for commercial roofers that have done good work for them.

Ask The Right Questions

Have you checked credentials and testimonials and successfully narrowed your list down to a few potential roofing companies? The next step is to contact the company and interview them for the job. We recommend asking the following questions:

• Can you give me an estimate? If so, compare their offer with the others. Ask this of all your potential roofing companies to find the best deal and narrow the list further.
• What is the timeframe for completion? Asking how long the job will take is another point that may set different companies apart in your search. If a reputable roofer can do the job faster, why not go with them?
• What is your experience with my particular issue? We highly advise to not hire a roofing company that hasn’t had experience with your specific problem.
• Do you offer warranties? A solid warranty will guarantee that any issues that arise from further degradation or the work they’ve done will be addressed at minimal or no cost to you.

Read The Fine Print

Did you sift through multiple companies and finally find the roofing expert you’ve been looking for? Don’t sign on the dotted line until you have thoroughly read every line. In the document there should be stipulations on the length of the project, the type of work being done, the cost, and any warranties you may or may not have attached. If there are aspects of your contract that you don’t understand or feel you need to clarify, feel free to contact an attorney for further help.
