If you’re a business owner, and you are building a new facility, you’re going to need the help of Industrial Roof Installers in Honolulu. If you’re working with a contractor, they may already have a roofer that they already work with. If so, your responsibility is to ensure that they are licensed and insured, per Hawaii laws, and you don’t need to think any more about it. If, however, you’re not using a contractor that provides all of the building services, or you’re renovating a building and haven’t hired a contractor, then you’re going to need to know what to look for from a roofer.
One of the first things to consider is whether the roofing company has experience with industrial roofs. Don’t be fooled! It takes a different type of experience for commercial roofs versus residential ones. Often, it’s more about the size of the job, rather than the materials needed. But, sometimes, it’s about the type of roof. Some companies have never installed a flat roof, for example, and many commercial roofs are flat. You’ll want to be sure only to work with Industrial Roof Installers in Honolulu that have experience with the type of roof you have or need.
Another thing to consider is their years in business. It’s a sad truth, but the contracting industry in general is a breeding ground for con artists. Because most jobs require an up-front investment from the client, a con artist can bid on a job and low ball everyone else, and then request 50% of the money up front for the purchase of materials. Once paid, they disappear, leaving you with less cash on hand and no work done on your building. A company that is well established and has a good reputation in the industry is a must!
You’ll also want to be sure to understand what a quote includes. For a renovation, make sure it includes all new materials. Replacing the substrate materials may seem like a standard practice, but some companies have lower bids because they plan on reusing existing materials. In most cases, you want all new materials, and knowing what’s included in the quote will ensure you don’t get less than what you’re paying for.
