Expert tips for choosing a reliable company for commercial roof coatings. 

When choosing a roof coating applicator for your industrial or commercial property, it's essential to prioritize quality and professionalism to ensure a successful and durable application. Whether you're exploring options through LinkedIn, Indeed or relying on word-of-mouth recommendations, focusing on key factors can make a significant difference. These include verifying licensing and insurance, assessing experience and expertise, checking reviews and reputation, understanding warranty coverage, obtaining detailed proposals, ensuring robust safety practices and looking for manufacturer certifications. Armour Roof Co excels in these areas and are committed to delivering top-notch service and reliability. 

When selecting a roof coating applicator, prioritizing quality and professionalism is critical. Here are some crucial factors to consider: 

Licensing and insurance 

Ensure the industrial or commercial roof contractor has a valid license to operate in your state. Licensing signifies they meet the qualifications to perform roofing work. Also, verify they hold adequate liability and worker’s compensation insurance to protect yourself in case of accidents or injuries during the project. Don’t hesitate to ask for copies of their license and insurance certificates for verification. 

Experience and expertise 

Look for an industrial or commercial roof contractor (Armour can handle both these needs!) with a proven track record in roof coating application. Inquire about the company’s experience level, the types of roof coatings they specialize in and whether they have experience working on roofs similar to yours (flat roof, metal roof, etc.). 

Positive reputation and reviews 

Armour has a sterling reputation in our community for impeccable service. We have over 60 5-star reviews. Read online reviews and ask for references from past clients. Satisfied customers are a good indicator of the applicator’s quality of work, customer service and reliability. Industry associations like the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) might also provide recommendations or directories of qualified industrial roof contractors. 

Warranty coverage 

A reputable industrial roof contractor will offer a warranty on both the materials and labor involved in the roof coating project. Understand the warranty terms, including its duration, coverage details and the process for filing a claim in case of issues. Armour offers generous and reliable warranties to meet you where you are and where you want to go. 

Detailed proposal and communication 

Get detailed proposals from multiple industrial roof contractors. The proposal should outline the scope of work, materials used, estimated project timeline, labor costs, warranty details and a breakdown of all charges. Choose an applicator who is transparent in their communication and willing to answer your questions thoroughly. 

Safety practices 

Roofing work can be dangerous. Inquire about the applicator’s safety protocols, such as fall protection measures and adherence to safety regulations. Observe if they prioritize safety during the proposal or initial inspection. Armour Roof has a subsidiary company called Anchor Safety. We make it our business (literally) to educate our applicators on the best and most sound safety education. Our industry can be dangerous, but Armour ensures we are all a little safer out there! 

Manufacturer certifications 

Certain manufacturers of roof coating materials have certification programs for applicators. These programs involve training and ensuring that applicators know the proper application techniques for specific coating products. While not mandatory, it can indicate an applicator’s commitment to quality and following best practices. 

By carefully considering these factors, you can increase your chances of finding a qualified and reliable roof coating applicator who will do a professional job and ensure your roof receives a durable and long-lasting coating.
