Guide to Choosing a Commercial Roofing Contractor
Installing a new roof on your commercial building is a major, long-term investment, so it is important to choose the right person for the job. When you are searching for a commercial roofing service, there are three decisions you will need to make, which include:
- Company Decision
- Roofing System Decision
- Value Decision
Choosing the Right Company for Your Commercial Roof
When searching for a commercial roofing company, you will want to find one that is professional, reliable, and established. You also want to make sure they understand the components of your roof to create a reliable system. When you enter into a relationship with a roofing company, you want to make sure they are a company that you can form an on-going, reliable partnership with. Make sure your roofing company has strong credentials and references, is licensed and insured, and is experienced and trustworthy.
At ACR-1.COM Commercial Roofing, we are fourth-generation roofers and have provided superior roofing systems to clients since 1920. We have strong credentials and good references, and we are licensed and insured in all locations we serve and can be licensed where we need to be. Our mission is to provide clients with a top-quality roofing system, professional, trouble-free installation of their roofing system, and responsive follow-up service. To achieve this mission, we take the following steps:
- Before the Job– Our professional and well-trained estimators inspect the existing roof in order to understand the various challenges and problems, which then enables them to quote solutions that make sense. We normally quote several re-roof options and repair options if available, as well as maintenance options.
- During the Job–Our Quality Assurance supervisors inspect every job to ensure that our crew meets our written quality assurance standards. We do not subcontract our roofing work; our employees are hourly; we don’t want them to “rush the job.” It’s our firm belief that “quality doesn’t cost it pays,” that’s why repeat and referral customers are our number one source of new business.
- After the Job– We send our customers a follow-up report card where they can rate their experience and satisfaction with their installation. We reward our crews for excellent marks on the report card, keeping them properly motivated.
