Experience and longevity in the roofing industry today is very important. Anyone can claim they are a roofer or that they have a roofing company, but it doesn’t mean they have the experience, knowledge, and track record with customers that shows the quality of their work. A reputable roofing company should be insured with general liability insurance, and workers should be covered by workers’ compensation insurance.
A home or business owner wants to be sure the employees that are showing up to do the work do not pose a safety risk to their employees, business, family, or home. A quality roofer in Nashville employees should be bonded, insured, and certified in the roofing products they’re installing on a home or business.
Residential Roofing
What can go wrong with a residential roof? Rain, wind, hail, tree limbs, and small leaks can cause serious damage to an asphalt roof on a home. A roof should complement the architectural style of a home while providing protection from the weather and improving a home’s comfort.
Poor Quality Can Cause A Residential Roof To Fail
Poor installation of flashing on a roof can cause serious damage. Flashing should never leave nails exposed that can interfere with the flow of the water. Inexperienced roofing companies will use caulking around the flashing located near a wall or a chimney and cause the caulking to separate from the service.
Commercial Roofing
Commercial roofing is just as important to maintain and repair as a residential roof. Although the materials that are used might be different, poor maintenance, installation, or repair could lessen the life of the roof and cause serious leaks. An experienced roofing company will be able to provide references of former commercial customers and a complete written estimate of the work that needs to be performed.
If the roof on your home or business hasn’t been inspected by an experienced roofing company, now is the time to call.
