What happens when corners are cut
Every business wants to save money. But when it comes to roofing, cutting corners comes at a much higher cost.
When roofing standards, roofing guidelines, and the roofing code of practice are ignored, here’s what can go wrong:
- Leaks and water damage that start small and snowball into costly repairs (and which can also damage products and equipment)
- Premature system failure from sub-par installation or unapproved materials
- Insurance or compliance issues due to failure to meet local or national roofing code requirements
- Reduced safety for employees, tenants, and visitors
Red flags when choosing a roofing contractor
- Vague or incomplete estimates with no mention of compliance or standards
- No references or reviews from commercial projects
- Rushed timelines that don’t account for weather, drying times, or safety measures
- Pushy sales tactics instead of honest assessments
How to spot a quality roofing contractor
Finding a quality roofing contractor means looking beyond the surface. Here’s what to prioritise when searching for reliable, honest, and quality roofing contractors:- Licensing and insurance — These are non-negotiable. Your contractor must have a valid roofing license in Florida as well as appropriate insurance to cover your project. Here’s detailed guidance on how to check a roofer’s license is legitimate.
- Proven track record — Look for commercial projects of similar scale and scope to what you’re hoping to achieve. And make sure you can see verified reviews or testimonials from satisfied customers. Don’t hesitate to ask the contractor you’re considering contracting for these. It’s not reasonable to expect an experienced roofing contractor to post every job they’re ever done on their website or social media.
- Clear communication — A quality roofing company will explain timelines, materials, and procedures in plain terms.
- Detailed inspections — Reliable contractors take the time to understand your existing roof and plan accordingly.
- Strong online presence — Yes, verified reviews and testimonials are vital, but it’s also important that your chosen roofing contractor has a professional online presence beyond just a Facebook page or Google Business Profile. A well-maintained website that clearly shows they’re based in Florida signals that they’re committed to building a long-term business in the area; that they’re not just chasing quick jobs and disappearing when things get tough. Local commercial roofers who invest in their brand and infrastructure are far more likely to stick around and provide ongoing support when you need it.
