a contractor for a project. It remains one of the top considerations in the roof purchase process. In the traditional process a number of contractors are solicited to provide bid estimates for the completion of the work. In this scenario, the awarded contractor is selected based on lowest price.
it’ll be important to pre-qualify the contractors prior to the bid process. This ensures that all contractors are equally qualified to complete the project. The bidding contractors should be equal in professionalism, experience, and workmanship. The requirements for pre-qualification are provided below.
and systems available on the low-slope commercial market. There are also different application methods — recover or replacement — that will have an impact on the cost of the project. It is best to provide a scope of work (preferably design specifications) that provides materials, systems, and application methods so that the contractors are all bidding equally.
for a time period acceptable to you (typically three to five years). Ensure that the contractor is financially stable and that it has the proper financial resources to complete your project. Financial strength becomes more important as the duration of the project increases. If a contractor cannot complete the project it will be nearly impossible to hire another contractor to complete the project.

It is more important find out how the contractor responded when problems occurred on the project. This is construction, and problems are likely to occur. It is best to contact the roofing manufacturers that the contractor is certified with to provide insight on how they responded on the “problem” projects that they typically do not list as project references.
the most important aspects for all trades on all construction projects. Due to the nature of the work, safety is especially important on roof projects. Ensure that the contractor has an established safety training program and that all on-site roof mechanics are properly trained. Most construction projects also require that a safety talk be completed daily, prior to the work day, to review all safety requirements. The contractor’s safety procedures may be required by your insurance company or your organization’s management.
