Important Considerations When Looking for a Roofing Contractor
Selecting A Roofing Professional
There are a few things to discuss when hiring a roofing contractor to ensure the job will be done correctly. Shoddy workmanship can increase the cost, time, and liability for your company. That said, you should always start with obtaining bids from roofing contractors. Look at proposals and consider how they meet your needs. Then, ask for references and be diligent in checking out the roofing company you are considering hiring. Beyond these basics, consider the following:
Roofing Safety
Why this is important
When it comes to safety on the job, all parties involved share a responsibility. Make sure the company you hire has a safety SOP in place for all job types. Hiring competent roofers can save your company from potential stress and increased costs due to negligence. Radco’s commitment to safety ensures every employee is specifically trained in OSHA roofing safety regarding repairs and new construction of all roof types. Our past performance and our insurance and bonding levels allow us to work in the most demanding environments. Read more about Radco Roofing here.
Building Codes
Why this is important
The main purpose of building codes is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare as they relate to the construction of buildings. Obviously you want to make sure your job is done in compliance with all current codes and standards. However, a contractor’s experience and good judgment are also assets you don’t want to be without. An understanding of current standards and how to comply will save significant amounts of time and cost of correcting non-code compliant work.
Warranties and Maintenance
Why this is important
The performance of a roof system depends upon a good roof system design, and different designs will carry potentially different warranties. The frequency and type of service work will also affect both your warranty, and the life of your roof. As a participant in Radco’s maintenance program you will have access to a chronological summary of all roof related events (i.e., Construction, repairs, replacement, maintenance, etc.). This will keep you apprised of the condition of the roof system at your facility on an ongoing basis. View Radco Roofing services here.
Stable Roof Deck
Why this is important
A good quality roof depends on the stability of the roof deck. Quality workmanship will help prevent future headaches due to costs and repairs that could have been avoided. The function of a roof deck is to provide a stable and solid substrate for the roof system. The roof deck should be specified by a design professional, and must be capable of safely supporting the design dead and live loads, and the weight of the roof. Finding a roofing company that has a lot of experience will ensure the job is done right.
