How can I ensure the roofing contractor I hire is reputable and experienced?
Look for established roofing contractors with a proven track record in multi-unit residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
Generally speaking, check their certifications, licenses, insurance, WorkSafe BC clearance letter, years in business, whether they have a dedicated service department to maintain your warrantied product, and request references from previous clients to gauge their expertise and reliability.
More specifically, it’s crucial to choose a contractor with manufacturer certifications to ensure the quality and longevity of your roofing project.Here are several reasons why it’s important to prioritize certified contractors:
Product Expertise: Certified contractors have undergone training and have demonstrated proficiency in installing and working with specific roofing materials and products. Their familiarity with manufacturer guidelines ensures that the roofing system is installed correctly, maximizing its performance and lifespan.
Quality Assurance: Manufacturers often provide certifications only to contractors who meet stringent standards and guidelines. By hiring a certified contractor, you can be confident that your roofing project will meet or exceed industry standards, providing a high level of quality assurance.
Warranty Coverage: Manufacturer certifications often come with extended warranties on roofing materials. Hiring a certified contractor is typically a requirement to activate these warranties. This warranty coverage offers protection against defects and ensures that any issues arising from the materials’ quality are addressed by the manufacturer.
Code Compliance: Certified contractors are well-versed in local building codes and regulations. They ensure that your roofing project complies with all relevant codes, reducing the risk of legal issues or complications down the line.
Professional Training:Certified contractors undergo continuous training to stay updated on the latest industry trends, technologies, and installation techniques. This ongoing education ensures that the contractor is equipped to handle the complexities of modern roofing systems.
