​ Steps for Selecting the Best Commercial Roofer

Selecting a commercial roofer isn’t only about evaluating the proposals from each roofing contractor you’ve contacted.

There’s a great deal more to consider. Following these steps when selecting a commercial roofer can help.



STEP #1 Location – Find a local roofing company that has a good reputation and local references. Local commercial roofers will be more concerned about maintaining a good reputation in your area. Look for good references and roofing companies with a long, well-established history of business.


STEP #2 Weather Expert – Look for a local roofing company that truly understands your climate and building needs. Commercial roofers with proven on-time weather response experts are ideal, especially when your area experiences unpredictable and often extreme weather patterns like the ones here in St. Louis.


STEP #3 Responsive – Search for a local roofing company that has a great reputation for response and proactive support for your needs. A good commercial roofer has a team that works with the latest technology, bringing a fully integrated response team ready to protect their customers' buildings.


STEP #4 Certified – Be sure to find a local roofing company that is certified and respected in the area they service. Look to roofing system manufacturers and the contractors they have certified and awarded in categories that recognize superior workmanship, consistency, and continued dedication to perfection.


STEP #5 Union – It is important that your local roofing company has a good reputation with your local craftsmen. When there is mutual respect, local craftsmen perform the highest quality work and quantity of work, maximize their skills and abilities, exercise safe and productive work practices, eliminate those practices that reduce their contractors’ profit margins, and treat their signatory contractors as their partners in business.


STEP #6 Local Economy – Consider what local roofing companies employ the residence of your community at large. You want a commercial roofer that not only knows your needs, but also knows your neighborhood - a commercial roofer who doesn’t need to Google your business address to know who and where you are.


STEP #7 Professional – Find a responsive local roofing company with knowledge and expert advice you can count on when you need it. Roof management is a complex and time-consuming challenge. That’s why finding a dedicated commercial roofing team ready with expert solutions and quality craftsmanship is essential.
STEP #8 Quality – Look for the local roofing company with the best range of roofing expertise. Proper installation is critical with the best roofing warranties awarded for the best roofing installation. To ensure your roof is installed properly for the best warranty coverage you’ll want to select a manufacturer-recognized commercial roofer that continually installs their products with the utmost quality.

When you’ve followed these eight steps, you’re more likely to partner with the commercial roofer that’s right for you.
