Workforce:
Many people overlook this aspect of hiring a commercial roofing company. Commercial projects can last far longer than residential ones, and will require a larger workforce. A lot of smaller roofing companies will accept commercial jobs without realizing they may run too thin if the project experiences any hiccups, which many do!
Licensing:
Do they hold a roofing license and general contractors license? There are advantages to working with a company that holds both. The majority of commercial projects, particularly large ones, require further construction work outside of the roofing realm. Therefore a company holding both licenses can presumably handle any situation that arises, resulting in a savings of money, time and headaches.
Experience:
Making sure the company you want to hire has successfully completed similar jobs is a wise idea. You’d be surprised how many commercial roofing jobs get awarded to companies with little to no commercial experience, do you want your project to be someone's “learning curve”?
Reputation:
This should almost go without saying, but it is important to fully vet the company you are going to work with. That means doing a little due diligence and making sure they maintain a good reputation with the people they have done work for.
Low Bids:
It is always enticing to try and get the best possible deal. Many people think that refers strictly to price alone, which would be a mistake. Many inexperienced commercial roofing companies will use the tactic of low bidding in order to land the job. This can end up being disastrous, if there are any problems during the job and the company is tapped out on funds, often they will cut corners.
