How to Hire the Right Commercial Roofing Contractor
By High Country Roofing · Family-owned commercial roofers in Emmett, Idaho
A commercial roof is a big investment, and the installer matters as much as the material. These are the questions worth asking any roofer before you sign.
Questions to ask
- Are you licensed and insured? Ask for the license number and a certificate of insurance.
- Are you certified by the manufacturer? Manufacturer warranties often require a certified installer.
- Who will actually be on my roof? Many roofers sell the job and hand it to a subcontractor. Ask directly.
- Who inspects my roof, a salesperson or a roofer?
- What's the warranty, and who backs it? Get it in writing. Know what the contractor covers and what the manufacturer covers.
- Can I see similar projects and talk to those owners?
- Can my business stay open during the work?
Red flags
- Pressure to sign the same day
- A price far below everyone else's with no explanation of scope
- Recommending a full replacement without checking whether the roof can be restored, or a coating over a wet roof
- No written scope or warranty
