Replacing the roof on your commercial building is a big undertaking but doesn’t have to be a nerve-racking ordeal.
Your choice of installer not only matters in terms of the ROI for your roofing asset, but it can also be the determining factor for making your project less stressful, chaotic, and inconvenient.
When you’re vetting roofing companies, you’ll no doubt check for essential qualifications like proper state licensing and bonding, liability insurance coverage, material manufacturer certifications, and verified references. For a smooth, worry-free installation, here’s what else you should expect from your roof replacement contractor.
Insight and Accuracy
You want a roofer with the skill and experience to properly assess your existing roof and provide an accurate replacement estimate. The quote should include more than a cost breakdown and warranty details. It should also include the scope of the project, necessary repairs, and time-frame for completing the work.
Communication Skills
Hiring a roofer who makes communication a priority goes a long way toward minimizing stress and future headaches. You need a roofer who’s easy to reach to answer questions. They should be willing to keep you up-to-date on any issues which develop before and during your roof replacement. This includes delays in material deliveries or scheduling.
Focus on Safety
A dependable roofing contractor takes safety seriously to protect their crew and your tenants, customers, and employees against accidents and injuries. They carry workers’ compensation insurance, provide ample employee training and use appropriate practices and equipment to create the safest job-site possible.
Planning Assistance
Your roofer should be willing to help you develop a plan to limit mess and potential hazards on the property. Disruptions to your business during the re-roofing process should also be considered. They can advise you on staying open during the project and how to best handle parking and pedestrian traffic around the building(s).
Conscientious Care
Replacing a roof is messy work, so it’s vital to hire a conscientious roofer with a reputation for keeping a tidy work-site. They’ll make sure old materials are handled and disposed of promptly, take steps to avoid building and landscaping damage, and thoroughly clean up debris when the project is finished.
