If you need commercial roofing services, you’ll want to be sure that you hire a company with a stellar reputation for doing impeccable work. At the same time, there are other factors that you will need to consider. Here, we list out the top considerations that business owners need to assess when choosing a commercial roofing contractor.
AVAILABILITY
Many roofing jobs are scheduled in advance. These jobs include projects such as new roof installations or roof replacements. Yet other roofing jobs are the result of emergencies, such the culmination of wear and tear or bad-weather damage. Ideally, businesses should choose roofers who offer all day services or extended service hours. It is also a good idea to choose contractors who can work around your business schedule. For instance, if you own an educational facility, it is likely that you want to avoid class hours while conducting your roof repairs. In such a case, it would be ideal that your roofing contractor can perform their repairs outside of schooling hours or on the weekend.
SERVICES
Commercial roof contractors offer a range of services that would best suit your business. These services go beyond repairing or replacing roofs – they also include supporting your building’s energy efficiency and the overall condition of your roof. Examples of such services include:
- Gutter installation
- Maintenance and inspection
- Attic installation
- Window replacement
If you choose a full-service roofing contractor, you won’t have to go through the inconvenience of having to vet a new company for each new service you require. This saves you time and energy and grants you the security of knowing that the contractors working on your current project will deliver, as you have a track record of being satisfied and happy with their past work.
Project Planning
The best commercial roofers don’t simply show up to work on your roofs. If you’re planning a large-scale tear-down job or an addition to your current infrastructure, you’ll need to work with experts who have experience with project planning. When assessing commercial roofing companies, take a look at their track record. Have they performed large-scale projects before? You should also check that they have the qualification to work on all commercial buildings. There’s a vast difference between performing repairs on a roof on top of a tiny retail shop and replacing a roof that covers a large industrial building.
Warranties
Many new roof materials come with guarantees and manufacturer warranties. While this should be something you should expect when engaging with a roofing contractor, you should also consider their labor warranty. Is the contractor able to guarantee their work? Avoid companies with limited warranties amounting to less than a year. A reputable company that delivers quality work should have no issues guaranteeing their labor. You can also take a look at the contractor’s testimonials to see what others have to say about working with them.
