What should you look for in a commercial roofing contractor?
Look for three things you can verify before signing anything: manufacturer training on the exact system going on your roof, proof of general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and a written warranty you can read in full before you commit. A contractor who will not put all three in writing is not the right contractor for a commercial building.
Signs your building needs a commercial roofing contractor now
- Water stains on ceiling tiles, or a leak that returns after every heavy rain
- Ponding water that stays on the roof more than 48 hours after a storm
- Open seams, split laps, or backed-out fasteners you can see from the roof deck
- Rust streaking down metal panels, or chalky, cracked coating underfoot
- Cooling bills climbing year over year with no change in occupancy
- A roof past 15 years old that has never had a documented inspection
Why picking the wrong contractor costs more than the roof
Most commercial roof failures are not material failures. They are installation failures, and they show up two to four years after the crew leaves, right about the time the contractor stops answering the phone.
The pattern is consistent: a low bid wins, the crew skips surface prep or applies the coating below the required mil thickness, and the warranty turns out to be prorated or void the moment anyone reads the fine print. The building owner then pays a second time for the same roof.
- Prorated warranties that pay out pennies by year seven
- Coatings applied under spec thickness to protect a thin bid
- No documented surface prep, so adhesion fails at the seams first
- Subcontracted crews with no manufacturer training on the system
How the inspection and proposal process works
The contractor covering your area walks the roof, documents its condition with photographs, takes core samples where the substrate is in question, and measures the actual square footage. Nothing is quoted from satellite imagery.
You receive a written proposal listing the specific Conklin system, the mil thickness, the surface preparation steps, the warranty term, and the price. If restoration is not the right call for your roof, the proposal will say so.
- Free on-site inspection with photo documentation, no obligation
- Written scope naming the system, thickness, and prep steps
- Non-prorated warranty terms of 10 to 20 years depending on system
- Restoration typically costs 50 to 70 percent less than tear-off and replacement
