What To Look for In Commercial Roofing Contractors

You can’t trust the roof of your commercial building to just anyone!  You have so many resources tied up in your building and the assets within it – if you need roofing work done, you need commercial roofing contractors you can truly trust.

These are some of the most important things to look for when vetting contractors.

Five Must-Haves When Choosing Commercial Roofing Contractors

1. Liability Insurance

Always ask about a contractor’s insurance before hiring them.  They should be carrying enough to cover any damage reasonably done, usually around a million dollars.  This protects you in multiple ways.  Besides paying for damages, if the contractor isn’t insured and an accident occurs, you or your insurance could end up paying!

2. An Emphasis on Safety

Of course, the best contractors are looking to avoid any accidents or mistakes.  One of the best ways to tell if commercial roofing contractors are trustworthy is if they put a heavy emphasis on safety.  Be sure to ask about their safety processes, and how they’ll be working to protect your people and property.

3. Quality Roofing Materials

A roof is only as good as the materials used to build it.  Your roofing contractors should be using top-quality materials from leading brands – and have a verified supply chain in place so that they know the materials are authentic.  Paying a little extra for high-quality materials will absolutely pay off in the long run, through lower maintenance and a longer overall lifespan.

4. Diligence in Installation

Every roofing material manufacturer provides clear instructions and guidelines on how to install their products.  Many even offer full certification courses, so that contractors can prove they know how to make the best use of the materials.  Ask whether your contractor has any such certifications, or what other processes they have in place to guarantee the manufacturers’ guidelines are always followed.

5. Reasonable Pricing

When selecting a roofing contractor, you don’t want the lowest bidder – but you don’t want the highest bidder either.  A good contractor is going to have a range of services and pricing options so that you can select a service package that meets your needs.
