Reroofing is a large-scale project that is best undertaken with a qualified partner because choosing a good-fit reroofing company to help guide and advise you can make the process smoother. Here are some of the considerations you should keep in mind when choosing a partner.
Experience
Experience is the number one consideration for anyone looking for a reroofing partner. While many have general roofing experience, reroofing is a specialized area of the roofing industry that requires a different level of expertise.
Some of the things to look for include:
- The length of experience with reroofing applications
- The systems they are familiar with
- What is their preferred system and why?
- How many square feet they have installed?
Finding a partner who has a lot of experience with various reroofing systems will help you find the right system for your specific application. A partner with a lot of experience with many reroofing applications can help ensure that your application is completed smoothly.
Dealer Networks
Another thing to consider when selecting a reroofing company is whether or not they are part of an extensive, factory-backed, certified dealer network. An extensive, factory-backed, certified dealer network helps to reduce costs and ensure that your panels are installed correctly, don’t leak, and last.
Installer education is also crucial because a partner that prioritizes education and certification is a partner that cares about their work and making sure it is done correctly.
Some questions that you can ask to help screen potential partners are:
- What manufacturer certification classes have been completed?
- How long has the contractor been certified?
- How many projects have been installed?
- How many of the installer's previous projects have been non-warrantable? Zero is the goal.
- What degree of complexity can the installer handle?
These questions will help you decide if the installer is a good fit partner for your project.
