Why the Lowest Commercial Roofing Bid May Not Be the Best Choice
Now, just because a guy has a truck and a ladder doesn't mean he knows how to put a roof on your building. There's a difference between a residential roofing contractor that specializes in shingles and a commercial roofing contractor who knows about drainage, TPO membranes, flat roofs, and the load bearing issues that come with a warehouse or strip mall. Commercial is a whole different beast. Bigger, more technical, and truthfully, more important because you have inventory, employees, sometimes even tenants depending on that roof for their livelihood. Many business owners don't even realize that until thewater is falling on their server room. Don't be that guy. Do your homework, ask questions, confirm licensing, and have a commercial contractor work your commercial roof, not a guy who has done two jobs calling it commercial.
