4 questions to ask before hiring a commercial contractor

By Division 7 Roofing. 

Ensure quality and reliability by knowing what to ask your commercial roofing contractor. 

When it comes to safeguarding your commercial property, selecting the right roofing contractor is a decision that carries long-term consequences. In a landscape filled with promises and flashy ads, how do you discern who will truly deliver quality work? By asking the right questions and knowing what red flags to avoid, you can protect your investment from costly mistakes. Here at Division 7 Roofing we explore the essentials that will help you find a contractor you can trust. 

Essential questions to ask when selecting a commercial roofing contractor 

1- Business experience in the commercial roofing industry 

Beware of companies that have recently switched from residential to commercial roofing or those that have just started their own company. Low-slope and steep-slope roofing require different expertise and newly established companies may lack the necessary experience. 

2 - Authorized installer of your roof’s manufacturer 

Make sure the contractor is authorized by the manufacturer to work on your roof. Unauthorized contractors performing poor workmanship or using alternative materials can void your roof’s warranty. 

3 - Service availability and coordination 

A professional operation should have a dedicated service coordinator who can provide you with a service date immediately. Beware of contractors who need to call their team first to check availability. 

4 - Employee classification and quality 

Top-tier contractors prioritize quality and integrity by offering benefits and competitive pay to their W-2 employees. Be cautious of contractors who use 1099 subcontractors to cut costs, as this may indicate a lack of commitment to quality work.
