Does the company have the workforce for the job?
This is important to consider, especially with larger projects, such as those involving massive buildings or spanning large apt/condo complexes with dozens of buildings.
Are they both a licensed roofing contractor & general contractor?
If so, it is advantageous for commercial roofing projects, especially large ones, if the company has both. Quite often, other areas of the structure could need work during commercial projects, i.e., the plumbing or electrical, etc. Projects will run much smoother and more efficient when one company can oversee any issue that arises while repairing or replacing the roof.
Do they have experience with similar jobs?
While each commercial roofing job is unique, it is important to verify that the company you select does indeed have experience with the kind of commercial roofing project you have. Many small companies may try to bite off more than they can chew, so be wary!
Are they reputable?
This almost goes without saying. Does the company have good reviews? Do they have bad ones? Are they in good standing with the Better Business Bureau? Be sure to vet whoever you decide to work with thoroughly.
Watch out for very low bids!
While the price is definitely a factor, it SHOULD NOT be the only factor and should not be the #1 factor. Many companies that lack experience will try to bid very low and remember a commercial roofing project is not one you want inexperienced roofers working on.
Besides, bidding very low for commercial roofing projects means corners may end up being cut; remember, everyone needs to make a profit at the end of the day, so if they’re bidding super low, it will show up somewhere along the line and quite often ends up costing more money.
