What to Look For in a Roofer to Know if They’re Trustworthy

These are the qualities to look for in a roofing company: integrity, skill, training, professionalism and reliability. Most roofers would claim they have them all, but it’s your job to find out whether their self-assessment is accurate. To hire the right roofing contractor for your project, ask your candidates about these important factors:

License

All companies must have a license to perform roofing work in your area. The Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board has strict trade requirements in place to protect consumers from unqualified applicants. Continuing education is also required for license renewal to ensure the business stays current on the latest safety practices and building regulations. Hiring a licensed company like Dynamic Roofing Concepts means you can rest assured your project is up to code.

Certification

Roofing manufacturers have certification programs to factory-train contractors and ensure their products are installed according to their own exacting specifications. Although brands don’t restrict uncertified professionals from using their offerings, they certify select roofing companies to help consumers know that certain companies are their best options.

Insurance

Working with an insured roofer lets you tackle your project with peace of mind. A company with adequate liability and workers’ compensation coverage spares you from legal issues in case of injury or property damage during the job. While insurance is a prerequisite for the license and certification, ask for verifiable proof to ensure the company carries legitimate coverage.

Workmanship Warranty

A trustworthy roofer provides protection against defects in manufacturing, material and workmanship. Products come with robust warranties, but not all professionals stand behind their work for a long period. The typical roofing company only covers installation-related errors for two years, which doesn’t really add value for your money.

As a GAF Master Elite™ roofing contractor, Dynamic Roofing Concepts provides 25-year workmanship coverage through the Golden Pledge® Ltd. Warranty. It’s unlikely that we’ll be out of business within that period, but in case we do, GAF will provide the reimbursement for the labor necessary to fix any of our mistakes.

Our company is one of the most decorated local roofers you will find. To learn more about our credentials and talk about your Florida roofing project, call us at (813) 257-9355.
