Essential Questions for Your Commercial Roofing Contractor

Choosing a Commercial Roofing contractor can be a stressful experience and the cost of choosing the wrong contractor can be very high. Here are some of the most important questions you should ask your Commercial Contractor before signing a deal.

1.) Do you have a license and applicable insurance?

One of the most important questions to know is if they are licensed to practice in the state. Most states require licensing from contractors.

Because of the high risk of an injury, your contractor should have liability insurance and workers compensation. You can request copies of each and make sure the coverages are in effect through the duration of the project. Most states also require contractors to have general liability insurance as it also protects the contractor from claims against their work.

2.) Can you provide any references?

When choosing the right kind of contractor, keep in mind they should have a proven track record with client references and a list of completed projects that is available for you to see. You can call these clients and look at their previous project. If they were satisfied, you can be assured of the contractor’s ability.

3.) Do you offer warranty options?

Before signing a contract, carefully read and understand any roofing warranty offered. Many manufacturers require inspection by one of their representatives prior to issuing the warranty. Look for a commercial roofing contractor committed to optimal performance and longevity—LaFerney Commercial Roofing ensures this by offering warranties that go above and beyond the industry standard.

4.) Do you provide proposals?

Insist on a written proposal and examine it for complete descriptions of the work and specifications. Credible commercial contractors should provide a fully explained proposal that addresses all determined roofing concerns. Proposal should mention approximate starting and completion dates as well as payment procedures.

Finding a reliable, credible commercial roofing contractor is not an easy task. Keep these important questions in the back of your mind when choosing your potential contractor.
