When it comes to finding a qualified commercial roofer, there are a few key steps you can take to ensure you find a reputable and experienced professional who can handle your roofing needs. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

1. Check for licensing and insurance: One of the most important things to look for when choosing a commercial roofer is their licensing and insurance- particularly that the roofer is licensed to work in your state. Pay particular attention to liability and workers’ compensation insurance to protect you in case of accidents on the job.

2. Look for experience: A commercial roof is a big investment and an important part of your building, so you want to make sure you choose a roofer with experience working on similar projects. At the time of writing this, Armour Roof Co. has worked on 265 roofs and we’re entering our 9th roofing season. Experience in the type of building you need commercial work on is particularly helpful too and we’re always happy to provide references.

3. Research the company: Before you hire a commercial roofer, do some due diligence by looking at their digital footprint. Specifically start with looking at their website, reading online reviews, and check their standing with the Better Business Bureau. 

4. Get multiple quotes: Once you have a list of potential roofers, it’s important to get multiple quotes to compare prices and services. Many times we’ve come into a project for customers to realize that roof coatings is significantly less than a roof replacement quote that they received from another commercial roofer. Additionally, we can typically stop the leaks for a quicker turnaround time too because there is less disruption involved.

5. Consider the warranty: A good commercial roofer should offer a warranty on their work. Customers are surprised to find that our warranties are comparable (or better) than one for a complete roof replacement. We have a wide array of roofing systems that match the warranty of others including covering the cost of labor/materials, too.

By following this simple checklist, you can find a qualified commercial roofer that can stop the leaks, rust, and deterioration of your existing commercial or industrial roof. It’s a big investment and it’s important to feel that you’re in good hands.
