How to Hire an Excellent Roofer
A new roof is a major investment, so you owe it to yourself to exercise due diligence in hiring a roofing company. Sadly, many good spray foam insulators try to become sprayfoam roofers without the necessary training or experience. The results are almost always disastrous. Inadequate surface preparation, shoddy installation, inadequate equipment, and inappropriate materials have resulted in some spectacular roof system failures. Partly to blame are unscrupulous suppliers who push their insulation clients to take on roofing contracts just so they can make a sizeable material sale.
Avoid being ripped off
Don’t be the victim of a sub-par operation. Here’s what to do when looking for a pro:
1. Find out how long they have been doing spray foam roofing, and how many square feet of roof they havedone.
2. Ask for references ofthe oldest roofs they’ve done. Then speak to the references; a client that’ssatisfied with the work done should be happy to take a minute to talk to you.
3. Ask to see a roof theyhave sprayed. If they balk, it’s likely because they have no roofs to show youor they aren’t proud of their work. It might seem like an odd request, but thisis about building trust—if you’ve already had a bad experience once, here’s a wayof knowing you’re avoiding another.
Trust your investment to highly trained, certified professionals
Look for a company with staff that have taken extensive training and passed the rigorous certification program offered by the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance. Your best bet is going with sprayers that have been examined by industry professionals with decades of experience and have proven their ability in actual field conditions.
