There are many things to consider when beginning the process of hiring a commercial roofing company. Choosing the right contractor for your commercial needs is a big decision that should be based on criteria such as quality building materials, outstanding client service, and honest and competitive pricing. When narrowing down your search for a roofing company, consider the following points to help ensure that you’ve chosen the best fit for your business needs.
The lowest bidder is not always the best
When considering selecting the lowest bidding company for your needs, be sure to ask for an explanation of how the company arrived at the bid. Often, a price that seems too good to be true is just that. Commercial roofing companies that seem lower than most other companies on their bid could be using substandard building materials or unskilled workers. In addition to asking to see a breakdown of the bid estimate, be sure to also take time to look into reviews from past clients to ensure that past customers were happy with their choice of roofing company.
Check references and verify experience
The importance of checking references before choosing a roofing contractor is great. What do other people say about the company you are considering? Have past clients been happy? Additionally, take some time to look into the amount time the company has been in existence, as longevity in the industry is a good indicator of the skill level of the contractors and their ability to complete projects successfully and in a timely manner. Longevity in the business and a long list of happy customers is something worth spending extra for.
Be sure you can get it in writing
A good roofing company is not afraid to guarantee their services and put the scope of the commercial roofing project in writing. It is important that both you and the contractor you select have a good understanding of what needs to be done for the project to be complete, as well as the details, such as the timeline of the project, and any special requests that pertain to your specific project.
