Everything You Need to Know About Certified Roofers
Finding a good roofing company can be hard. You have to sit through layers of reviews, find one that works with your insurance, and trust them with your home. Importantly, you most likely need their help after a major event that causes damage to your home. You really can’t get this choice wrong. When it comes to your home or building, don’t be stuck with a roofer that doesn’t have the experience and tools necessary for the job. Don’t just leave this up to chance. Choose certified roofers for your home or business. Here’s why.
- Certification Process
- Insurance Liability
- Good Standing with the BBB
- Higher Quality
Certification Process
Unfortunately, there is not a universal certification process for roofing companies. This leaves people vulnerable to “fly by night operations.” Essentially, people who are not qualified try to work roofing jobs or they take the money and end up not doing the actual work.
On the other hand, there are other roofers that complete a certification process done by GAF. GAF certified roofers receive extensive training and are held to higher standards to receive such a certification. It’s not an easy process to become a certified roofer. A roofing company has to spend time and money to earn the certification. However, there are plenty of benefits to this certification. They show customers that they are willing to take steps to ensure quality across the board which is a great way to showcase why they might be the construction company for your job.
Insurance Liability
When it comes to certified roofers and the actual building of a roof an insurance policy is critically important. A roofer that is not GAF certified cannot guarantee you an insurance policy of 1M+ liability insurance. If they are not subjected to GAF, their liability insurance policy may be a lot smaller or non-existent in some cases. Don’t fall for that. A certified roofer guarantees 1M+ in liability insurance so you are always covered.
Good Standing with the BBB
One of the other requirements of being a certified roofer is that you must have a good standing with the Better Business Bureau. Not only must you have outstanding ratings with the BBB, but you must also have multiple reviews with little to no complaints. This means that the roofing company not only routinely services customers with high-quality service but can maintain an open dialogue with customers who may have a problem.
Higher Quality
When it comes to quality you want a certified roofers. They can not only provide you with better service but a better overall experience. They will have access to a vast amount of materials to choose from, expert roofers, and dependable execution of projects. A certified roofer can make sure that your roof lasts year over year.
Importantly, they’ve done the homework to provide their customers with a better experience. They will help work with your insurance and give you advice for your home. Whether that’s repairing a couple of shingles on a 20-year-old home, or replacing an entirely new roof.
