Investing into an industrial roofing project is a huge expense and it’s important that as you go through the bidding process that you’re able to effectively screen a potential industrial roofing company.

There are fiver criteria to screen for when deciding on an industrial roofer:

Credentials

Though you seen this less in commercial roofing than industrial roofing, there is still a need to ask any prospective industrial roofer to furnish their credentials.

This includes their license and insurance paperwork and checking that both items are valid and up-to-date. Getting this crucial step will help you avoid any liabilities in the case of accidents or property damage.

(Note: Roofing is one of the most dangerous professions, especially on industrial roofs so this is critical)

Work History

Anyone can claim that they’re an industrial roofing, but the proof is in the pudding. Ask questions such as:

• How many industrial roofing projects have you done?
• How long was your most recent project?
• Can you provide names and references for the last 3 industrial roofing projects?

By narrowing it down on facts you can better gauge their experience (or lack thereof) and see if previous clients have been happy.

Safety Record

This goes along with the first point, however, having a safe workplace is pretty important especially when it comes to industrial roofing jobs. Ask about the company’s safety procedures for worker safety on job sites. Additionally, you can search the company name directly on the OSHA site to check independently yourself!

Communication and Customer Service

In an industry known to have mediocre customer service, it’s especially important to pay attention to your interactions with any industrial roofers.

Are they responsive during the sales process? Do they have timely responses? Is the proposal clear and easy to understand?

Furthermore, you can check third party sites such as Google or Yelp to see what their customer reviews look like too.

Summary

Choosing an industrial roofer is a big decision (and big expense) which is why it’s important that you do lots of screening up front to find the right one for your project. By reviewing their credentials, work history, safety record, and customer service you can start to see who would be a good fit.
