Exciting Achievements of 2017

Twelve months may not seem like a very long time, but when you have a nationwide group of roofing contractors laser-focused on growing their commercial pipeline, there is a whole lot that can happen!

Although it takes many hours to go through everything that happened, we do a recap every year to remember how big of an impact we’re making across the country. To see how our group did last year, feel free to read the previous recap “Strong 2016 Success Builds Powerful Momentum for 2017”.

Every year just keeps getting bigger and better!

Key Stories and Highlights

Many New Success Stories Added

The “What Our Contractors Are Saying” page now has 20 examples of videos, recorded calls or articles featuring contractors across the country that experienced strong commercial growth after joining the group. Highlights include Rufus Hostetler starting at 22 years old and is now full-time in commercial, Andrew Near who closed 14 jobs in his 1^st year, and John Miller who went from a struggling contractor to landing an 80,000 sq. ft. job (among other commercial projects) with expectations of doing twice as well next year.

427 Roofing Leads due to Multiple Website Upgrades

We spent more money on our website than ever before, which is possible because of the expanded budget resulting from successful events and an increased number of endorsed members. Not only are we on a dedicated SSD server, but site-wide improvements led to faster speeds, better messaging, and added features to increase everyone’s success.

Co-Founder Shares Story with Audience of Nearly 1,000

Sam Hostetler, one of the two original co-founders, was invited to share his story to hundreds of people in Branson, MO. If you haven’t heard it before, his framing business was devastated during the great recession of 2008, which nearly took him under. But, after his cousin introduced him to roof coatings and helped him get started in commercial roofing, Sam ended up closing $1.3 million in signed contracts just 18 months after starting his marketing strategy.

Three Members Independently Host Monthly Trainings

Andrew Near of Empire Contractors, Amos Byler of CV Roofing Systems, and Sam Hostetler of ECO Commercial Roofing early this year started putting on local hands-on training events at their businesses on the first Saturday of each month. They went all out with life-like mockups of actual roofs and everyone who attended learned a lot. We absolutely love the incentivized mentorship program in place to reward members who help others get into commercial! View pictures: Facebook Gallery.

29 New Contractor Relationships

The size of our group continues to expand! This is good for everyone since it means more experience, greater connections, larger market presence and more contractors to help complete jobs. Nearly all the relationships were made because endorsed members and supported contractors in the group told others about what we’re achieving as a nationwide team.

Workshops Keep Getting Better and Better

Word spread fast from the prior workshops we did! Our January workshop in Cleveland was quickly sold out and we did another one just weeks later in Tyler, TX. There’s simply no other commercial roofing event this comprehensive that is led by successful commercial roofers. There is no better way to receive hands-on training and insider info on sales and marketing than from the ones who are doing it successfully themselves. For more info, visit: Nationwide Workshop & Forum page.

Top Cover Story of CoatingsPro Magazine

Over the year’s we’ve enjoyed a fantastic relationship with Stephanie at CoatingsPro Magazine. In the latest edition, co-founder Jonathan Keim’s article was the most prominently featured in the roof coatings supplement released back in October. The article was written to help contractors consider a few important items before accepting work on a large roof. Having the right resources and proper preparation is key to ensure things go well. To read the article visit: October 2017 Digital Magazine.

197 Blogs, 263 Comments, and 1000+ Subscribers
As everyone knows, content is king and so we’ve always made it our core focus! This year we put up lots of new content and the community keeps amazing us with their engagement. Our group literally has hundreds of comments from others on various blogs and now delivers the weekly newsletter to more than 1,000 contractors across the nation. We’re excited to see where some of the new relationships will take us in 2018!

2018 is Expected to be Even Bigger!

We’ve never had so many pages on the first page of Google, so many contractors who further the group cause, or the amount of experience that we do today. At convention in February, we’re going to announce something big that is expected to unlock a new level of opportunity for our members! Stay tuned as we continue to find ways to improve the commercial roofing industry for both contractors and building owners.

5 Important Questions to Help You Get the Right Roofer

Hiring the right contractor is essential to get satisfactory repairs on your roof. The problem, however, may be in finding the right one. With a little research and a clear interview process, you can determine which roofer can give you the best work within your budget.

Here are the five most important questions you need to ask roofers before hiring them:

1. Do You Provide Written Estimates?Written estimates are among the first things a reputable roofing contractor will provide you. It is usually a free estimate with no obligation on your part whatsoever. Among the items included in estimates are the planned course of action, materials to be used and the duration of the project.
2. Can You Provide Me With References?Good roofers should be able to provide potential customers with a list of previous customers. If they are as good as they claim, their work will speak for itself, and satisfied customers will attest to their reputation.
3. Do You Offer Warranties?A good roofing contractor always provides warranties for their work. Not only is it a show of confidence in their workmanship, but it also makes customers feel at ease, knowing they have warranty protection.
4. Do You Have a Local License?Having a local license assures customers that the roofer can work legally in the area and has the skills to provide a satisfactory job. It’s a good idea to ask for this when you first talk to them to eliminate the risk of hiring a storm chaser.
5. Are You Insured?This is something you must insist on to protect yourself from liability. Roof work entails a certain amount of risk. Should accidents occur, the roofing company must provide ample compensation to their workers and coverage for you.

4 Reasons to Pay Immediate Attention to Roof Leaks

Roofing leaks are a common problem. They are not an issue you can afford to ignore for a long time. Not attending to a leak can cause a variety of worse issues that might be costly to repair. For your home’s wellbeing, pay attention to your roof, and call your trusted roofing contractor if you discover any leaks.

Here’s a look at four dangers you can avoid when you deal with leaky roofs immediately:

1. Structural DeteriorationWhenever water infiltrates your roofing system, it may drip on different areas, such as the attic, the attic floor, ceilings and walls. It can even flow through the framing and penetrate the walls. While this isn’t an immediate concern, constant water intrusion can cause wood to rapidly rot and deteriorate.  It’s also worth noting that extensive water damage can be costly to repair.
2. Reduced Energy EfficiencyHigher utility bills are a side effect of constant roofing leaks, as water can gradually destroy insulation. When that happens, you can expect the weather to intrude into your home and cause your HVAC to work harder just to compensate. The result: higher bills.
3. Mold and Mildew GrowthConstant exposure to moisture causes mold and mildew growth. While it may not seem like such an immediate concern, the fact is it can invade your HVAC system with time and eventually settle elsewhere, such as your carpets. It can lead to a variety of respiratory ailments, especially if you have an allergic family member.
4. Fire and Shock HazardsDripping water can invade electrical wiring present in your attic or ceiling spaces. The bigger concern is that electrical wiring is hidden, so you may not even be aware that there is a threat to your safety. Should those wires short, you run the risk of shock or a fire.

Our service area includes New Bedford, MA, as well as multiple cities in Rhode Island, such as Providence and Warwick. Call us today at (401) 265-1019 to get a free quote.

Contractor Finds Big Success with Help from the ‘BBB for Commercial Roofing’

The old adage says, “There is safety in numbers.” For the endorsed members of the group, however, there is much, much more than that.

For John Miller of A-1 Roofing Systems, belonging to our respected roofing association has provided credibility, support and resources that have made all the difference in his business, helping him evolve from being a struggling roofer just surviving from job to job to doing large commercial projects. Even with the fantastic year he had in 2017, John expects to double his revenue next year.

“The Choice Roof Contractor Group is like a Better Business Bureau for commercial roofing,” John said, “and clients like that.” The peace of mind makes a huge difference and building owners also value the knowledge resources of the group that back every project.

A Foot in the Door

John was one of the earliest members to join Choice Roof Contractor Group. Prior to belonging to the group, he was struggling to gain traction in commercial roofing and to make ends meet, getting only small jobs for small buildings in a small town. He ended up taking some residential roofing work just to help generate cash flow.

“You were always busy, but it seemed like the profit margins weren’t nearly big enough,” he said. “There was a lot of hustle. There was a lot of fast-paced activity and not enough leftover time.”

For John, joining the Choice Roof Contractor Group made all the difference. It was through the group that he got the breakthrough opportunity that marked the start of his success in commercial roofing.

John had previously cold-called a branch of a large national company but without success. A couple of months later, however, that same company contacted this website looking for a price quote on an 80,000-square-foot roofing job, and John ended up getting the request. That job was his big break.

“They trusted us because of our affiliation with Choice Roof Contractor Group,” he said.

The group’s credibility, accountability and commitment to excellence helped get a foot in the door with a major client. Many other roofing contractors have also gained solid footing doing commercial work and landing big jobs they wouldn’t otherwise have gotten.

 “That would not have happened without the Choice Roof Contractor Group,” John said.

Another benefit of group membership is that quote requests received through the group are quality, prequalified leads. The customer gets to see what the group is about and what its members offer as a nationwide team.

“I get quite a few leads from the group,” John said.

 “Choice Roof Contractor Group is regularly at the top if you start Googling commercial roofing keywords,” he added.

Advice for Success

While prequalified leads, respected training, group credibility, shared knowledge and the other many benefits of membership can be game-changers for a roofing contractor, John advises that it is up to the individual to become successful.

“If you want to succeed in business, your focus has to be on servicing your customers rather than just seeing what you can get,” he said.

John said he was initially intimated by the commercial roofing market because of the largeness of the projects. He had to work on personal development, finding confidence, learning how those in the business world think and operate, and how to “speak the same language” to show business owners that they could trust him.

“I had to learn the skills and the mindset to learn how to perform in that market,” he said.

When meeting with a prospective client, John said, it’s a mistake to “sell yourself” and tell them everything you can do for them. Instead, he leads out by questioning a client and truly listening—finding out what they need, what their past experience has been with roofers, and how he can help them. He asks to take a tour of the facility so he can see where the issues are, and then after looking at the roof he generally proposes two or three options that he feels will best fit what the building owner needs.

Above all, benefiting the customer and truly providing service should always be a roofer’s aim.

“It’s so fun once you’ve learned your communication skills with your customers,” John said. “You can sell a couple hundred-thousand dollars in sales very quickly just because they sense that you’re servicing them. They don’t feel like you’re just taking money.”

Passing the Torch

John has certainly seen success since joining the Choice Roof Contractor Group. He foresees bringing in millions of dollars in revenue in the coming years. He counts himself blessed that instead of being out in the cold working just to make it through, he is now able to strategically use the winter months to prepare for next season and to line up spring jobs.

John’s five-year plan is to pass on his business to his oldest son, who is now 16 and whose ambition is to go into roofing like his dad.

“He loves what we do, and he has a passion for that,” John said.

Once the torch has been passed from father to son, John wants to become a consultant and a coach for roofing businesses—something Conklin, our preferred manufacturer, will pay him to do.

“It’s a mentorship program that is unequalled anywhere in the industry,” he said.

Because the manufacturer places high value on ensuring its contractors are properly trained, John can enjoy the experience of working with other roofers and helping them succeed. He will be able to do this at no cost to the contractors, as Conklin will use sales commissions to pay him for the mentorship instead of a traditional sales representative (a program that has been in place since the company entered the market in 1977).

Sweet Success

Because A-1 Roofing Systems achieved a large sales volume this year, John earned a free trip to Cancun, Mexico, through Conklin—a vacation he and his family recently returned from. This is yet another achievement he said would never have happened without the group.

“We ended up taking our whole family,” John said. “We’ve got seven kids, and we took the whole family down. We’d never, ever been to a beach anywhere in the world.”

He said a factor that made the vacation even better was there were about a hundred other Conklin families there, enjoying a similar reward for their sales success.

“You start keeping company with people who are used to success in what they’re pursuing, and that, in itself, is a big boost in continued success down the road,” John said.

John and the Rest of the Group Can Help You Succeed!

John emphasized the unique and tremendous benefits Choice Roof Contractor Group offers to roofing contractors like him.

“If you want to change your lifestyle and you have a commitment to stick to it until you succeed, we have something to offer here,” he said. “There’s no other group out there that offers what we do.”

For roofing contractors throughout the United States, CRCG provides numerous perks, including:

Commercial Flat Roof Repair Solutions

Flat roofs are prone to a common set of problems, any of which will require flat roof repair solutions administered by an expert commercial roofer.

Any roof repair work performed by a knowledgeable roofing technician will first be preceded by an in-depth inspection of your roof asset, during which the roof contractor will identify all problems and trouble areas on your roof. Once the condition of your roof and any damage have been assessed, a roofer can identify the appropriate courses of action and needed repair solutions to correct existing problems.

Flat Roof Trouble Signs

There are many indicators that a trained roofer will look for to identify flat roof issues, including:

• The presence of debris on the roof
• Ponding water, or water that remains on a roof for longer than 48 hours
• Visible signs of drainage problems
• Exterior building damage that has resulted from roof leaks
• Structural roof deformation
• Evidence of leaking on interior ceiling tiles and drywall
• Visual signs of buckling on the roof
• Presence of holes, punctures, cracks, curling, blisters, etc.
• And more

The Ideal Flat Roof Repair Option

Some common repair solutions administered to flat roofs to address problems include replacing metal flashing, caulking protrusions and repairing seams. One of the best roofing solutions available in the industry is a roof coating, which can effectively address all of a roof’s problems and add years to the life of a flat roof. This is the choice is a viable option approximately 80% of the time (if the roof’s condition is too far deteriorated, full replacement will be required).

Roofing companies belonging to the Choice Roof Contractor Group (CRCG) specialize in Conklin roof coating systems, which have proven to be some of the best roofing solutions in the industry. Conklin coating systems offer a variety of prime benefits, including:

• ENERGY STAR® certification
• Available class A fire resistance on both combustible and noncombustible roof decks
• Up to Class 4 hail protection and certified resistance to hurricane-force winds
• Up to 85 percent solar reflectivity, helping reduce cooling costs
• Up to 18 years of non-prorated warranty coverage, covering both materials and labor
• Coating forms a fully adhered, seamless, waterproof membrane
• Product expands and contracts with changing temperatures
• Fully restores an existing roof to like-new condition
• Incredible flexibility, offering ongoing resistance to bubbling, cracking, chipping and other forms of roof damage
• Roof can be recoated years in the future for even greater life extension
• And more!

A1 Roofing and Construction’s Commercial Roofing Options

The decisions you do for your business establishment is critical to its development. Each detail has a corresponding effect or benefit that can help you achieve your long-term goals.

When it comes to roof replacement, you have to be smart about the materials that you choose. A1 Roofing and Construction, your trusted roofing contractor, explains the features of their commercial options.

Metal Roofing

The industrial look of this roofing material makes it one of the most popular choices for many businesses. Its most remarkable feature arguably is its tensile strength. It can last up to 50 to 75 years with proper maintenance. Changing your roof after a few years won’t be an issue, so you don’t have to worry about it disrupting your daily operations. It’s also considered a “green” building product, which can minimize utility costs using natural insulation and solar reflectance.

Modified Bitumen Roofing

Consisting of hot asphalt, plastic and rubber additives, this roofing material resists heavy traffic, puncturing and tearing. It is layered between sheets of fiberglass or polyester. It exhibits many qualities of built-up roofing, but affords the ease of application of a single-ply system.

EPDM Single-Ply Membrane

Often referred to as rubber roofing, it’s a rubber-based product that can be applied in several ways: ballasted, fully adhered and mechanically fastened. It can be virtually applied to any roof surface. You can turn to our team to install this type of roof.

A1 Roofing and Construction is the name you can trust for any roofing project. We provide exceptional roofing products and services that meet your needs. Our crew ensures proper installation the first time for peak performance. Call us today at (401) 265-1019. We serve residents of Tiverton, Newport and Providence, RI, and the surrounding areas.

Four Things to Look for in a Roofing Contractor

Hiring a roofing contractor might seem like a simple task at first, but you’ll soon find that it’s a major investment that requires thorough research. Whether it’s a necessary repair or just a bit of preventative maintenance work, choosing the wrong contractor can mean both structural and financial disaster. How can you make sure that your roof is in good hands and that you get the best value for your dollar?

If you need roofing in Tulsa, you need to ask yourself if the contractor you’re looking to hire meets the following four requirements.

1. A Good Local Reputation

You probably don’t need to be told that customer reviews are the fastest way to determine the quality of a roofing contractor. The people who have used their services in the past can provide you with the most accurate and trustworthy information.

But something else you should consider is how long that contractor has been serving your community. Have they been around for five years, or five days? It’s important to choose a well-established business than a company that’s just “passing through the neighborhood” after a devastating storm or a harsh winter. More often than not, these traveling contractors are just looking to rip people off.

2. Proper Registration & Insurance

In the state of Oklahoma, both residential and nonresidential roofing contractors must register with the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board (CIB). The CIB ensures that the contractor has shown evidence of liability insurance, which protects you in case someone is hurt on the job. CIB registration also ensures that the contractor you hire is well-educated on issues related to the roofing industry.

3. Roofing Expertise

It goes without saying that you want to hire a roofing contractor who knows a thing or two about roofing. But roofing scams and shoddy workmanship are huge problems in the roofing industry, costing homeowners thousands of dollars in roofing damages that could have been prevented. How can you avoid falling victim to a bad roofing job?

One way to help determine quality is price. If a contractor’s prices are suspiciously low, it might denote workmanship of an equally low quality. But that doesn’t mean that the most expensive option is automatically the best—to stay on the safe side, stick with something in the middle.

4. Strong Communication Skills

Another way to determine the legitimacy and quality of a roofing contractor is in the way they communicate with you. In any relationship, communication is key, and your professional relationship with a roofing contractor is no different. Do they answer your phone calls, and return missed calls in a timely manner? Or do you find yourself struggling to get in touch? Hiring a contractor shouldn’t be a game of cat and mouse.

But getting a hold of a roofing contractor is only half the battle – the way that they communicate with you about your roof repair is just as important. For example, do they tell you what supplies they’ll be using, how long the project is going to take, and how much it’s going to cost? Or do they leave you in the dark? A good roofing contractor should communicate all of this information in a friendly and courteous manner before you decide whether or not to use their services.

Finding a Roofing Contractor in Tulsa, OK

Once you know what to look for, finding a roofing contractor in Tulsa becomes much easier. Still not sure where to start your search?

Finding and Hiring the Best Roofing Contractor in Tulsa, OK

Finding a good roofer can often feel like trying to find a good mechanic—it’s like looking for the last unicorn.

Seriously, most of us have heard the nightmare stories from friends and co-workers about shoddy craftsmanship, shady business practices, and terrible work ethic. For some reason, the roofing and contracting industry can at times be plagued with these problems.

So, how do you find a roofing contractor in Tulsa, OK that you can truly trust not only to do an excellent job on your roof, but to not pull a fast one on you with regards to price and policies?

We’re glad you asked! Read on for the best tips on finding and hiring quality roofers who will give you peace of mind.

Top 4 Tips for Finding Roofers

When it comes to your roof, you really can’t afford to take any short cuts. Your roof is one of the single most important and expensive components to your house. Its condition can sink the value of a home or send it soaring.

It is also what protects your most valuable possessions (and you) from the elements.

So it pays to take a little extra time searching for the right roofing contractor to tend to your roof, whether it needs some repairs, complete replacement, or if you are building a new home.

Here are the top 4 tips to keep in mind when looking for a roofing contractor to take care of your Tulsa home or business:

1. You get what you pay for

Many of us are bargain hunters. And it’s understandable—life is expensive! Roofs are very expensive, and most of us don’t have that kind of cash sitting around, ready to use when we need it most.

But, as tempting as it is to search for the very cheapest quote you can find, just remember—you get what you pay for. This is especially true for roofing and other types of service contracting work.

Roofing is a tough job. It requires licensing, safety training, and pretty serious tools to do the job properly. Not to mention the hours installing or repairing a roof are grueling. If you want the job done well and you want it to last, then be willing to pay for quality work.

This doesn’t mean you have to go with the most expensive. Just beware of the cheapest guy. There is probably a reason for why he is cheap.

2. Don’t just click around—ask around

Most folks these days just do an internet search to check out services and read reviews. But this is one area where you still want to get local referrals.

There are so many rules and regulations, license and permit requirements that are based on locality. This is just one reason to ask around about local Tulsa roofing contractors. Those who operate out of your area will know the local codes and rules, so there won’t be hang ups and red tape.

You will also be able to better avoid scams. If you get a direct recommendation from someone in person who has used their service, you know for sure it’s not a fake review (remember, not everything on the web is legit).

It’s your roof—do you really want to leave it up to what you find on the internet?

3. Zone in on manufacturer designations

A fairly easy way to help confirm if a roofing contractor is a legitimate and quality service is by looking for manufacturer designations on their website and materials.

Contractors have to pass minimum requirements in order to earn these factory-certified designations. You can look these up to learn what exactly the requirements are, so you can have better peace of mind when you hire a contractor with a designation.

4. Protect yourself by finding extensive warranties

If a roofing contractor is serious about providing quality work and materials, they should be willing to back it with warranties.

At the very least, you should look for someone who can offer a warranty on the work itself, since it can take months or even years for errors in installations and repairs to show up. These warranties will protect your investment in the roofer’s work.

If you can find a contractor who offers both workmanship and manufacturer warranties on the materials, that is the ideal situation.

Without a warranty, your only recourse for mistakes or poor materials is your own pocket book. Protect your investment and only go with pros who offer warranties.

How to Find a Reliable Roofing Company in Tulsa

To keep your home or place of business safe, it’s important to maintain the quality of the roof. Yet, many don’t think about roof repair or even maintenance until something, like a hail storm hits. However, maintaining the roof over our heads is important no matter the weather. When looking for a reliable roofing company in Tulsa, here are seven tips we recommend you keep in mind

Tip #1

Be sure your roofing company in Tulsa offers the type of roofing services you need. Some concentrate on residential and some on commercial, some on both. Know what you’re looking for and hire the appropriate professionals.

Tip #2

Compare prices. A quick quote online or phone call can tell you an approximate price to expect from your roofing company in Tulsa. Many roofing companies are willing to work within a certain budget. We recommend calling at least three roofing companies in Tulsa for price comparison and overall fit.

Tip #3

Ask for what you need. Especially if this is your first time repairing or requesting roof maintenance in your home, ask your roofing service provider what their services include for the type of roof you need. Have a list of what you know to be necessary to repair your roof and make this list non-negotiable when ready to purchase services from your roofing company in Tulsa.

Tip #4

Check their online reviews. Online reviews are one of the greatest things the age of the internet has brought to us. Read what people are saying about the roofing company in Tulsa that you’re thinking about hiring. Pay close attention to the good and bad, and determine whether you should trust this company with your home or place of business. Online reviews allow the consumer to hear from other consumers, not just from the company.

Tip #5

Hire professionals. There are many people out there who know how to patch up a roof—this doesn’t mean they’re professionals, however. Ask for credentials, check their reviews (as mentioned above), and go to their website to see what they offer and check out their standards. Hiring a professional also means having a company that will follow a timeline and ensure your vision is fulfilled accordingly. Professional roofing companies adhere to the highest standards of safety and have trained professionals to handle your specific needs.

Tip #6

Hire a company that can handle the seasons. If you know your roof is going to need some repairs, plan on doing them during the dry seasons. Doing these repairs during the rain or snow seasons could cause delays because of the unpredictability of the weather. However, sometimes we cannot know when we’ll need a repair. If a repair is needed and damp weather is a possibility, be sure your professional knows what to do and what advice to give about these repairs.

Tip #7

Before you hire, know your roofing company’s warranty. It’s highly likely the roofing company you hire will have a warranty. Asking about it and exactly what it includes is a smart move. Some will include materials, some labor or other types of warranties. Ask about it. Peace of mind is important when it comes to your roof.

Reputable Commercial Roofing Services

Hiring a commercial roofer can be a real crapshoot, unfortunately. There are many scammers out there looking to make a quick buck at a building owner’s expense. There are also many inexperienced roofers who claim to have expertise but aren’t knowledgeable about commercial roofing and, therefore, don’t perform the work correctly. Having work performed by either type of roofer almost always leads to huge problems down the road. By the time the issues begin to rear their heads, however, a scammer or an amateur will likely be long gone, leaving the building owner with no recourse.

When you’re looking for reputable commercial roofing services, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a roster of verified, tried-and-true companies with a knowledgebase that you know you can trust? Well, it just so happens there is. But more about that later.

Choosing a Reliable Roofer

When you’re shopping for a roofing company, the answers to these key questions will help you determine if you are picking a reliable one:

• Does the company have a good track record with local customers?
• Are the company’s online reviews positive ones?
• Is the company properly licensed and insured?
• Are the company’s technicians professionally trained?
• Does the company belong to and have endorsements from reputable industry associations?
• Does the company use good safety practices?
• Is the company certified by the manufacturer that makes its roofing products?
• Does the company offer non-prorated warranties?

 If you think finding a roofer that meets such stringent criteria is impossible, keep reading!

Denied Insurance Claims – Commercial Roofing

If your roof has been damaged in a storm or other event, the natural course of action is to contact your insurance company to have the damage dealt with. But if an unfairly denied insurance claim has become a barrier between you and getting the commercial roofing repairs needed, you may feel at a loss regarding what can be done.

Insurance Claims Help When You Need It Most

Most insurance companies are good about dealing fairly when a claim is made, but there are always those occasions when a claims adjuster is unreasonable, a claim is handled unjustly, or a customer has been underpaid for the roofing work they need.

The Choice Roof Contractor Group is a nationwide association of trusted roofers that serve customers throughout the United States. The roofing contractors that belong to our group are among the only roofing professionals in the country to offer a “Lifetime Service Guarantee” on work performed.

Too many individuals and businesses have been burned by inexperienced roofers or outright scammers who promise one thing but deliver another. They install a roof or perform repairs but don’t do the work correctly or to code. Not long down the road, when roofing problems begin to surface due to this shoddy workmanship, the roofer who did the job is often long gone, leaving the building owner or homeowner to deal with the aftermath (and usually an even higher bill to get things done right).

When you work with one of the many endorsed members of the group, however, you can have the peace of mind that comes from our group-wide accountability model and “Lifetime Service Guarantee”, which means you are guaranteed to have the services of a trusted member available to you should any problems ever arise over the lifetime of your roof.

New Roof Cost In Bixby: How To Figure Out The Cost Of A New Roof

Owning your own home can be an amazing and rewarding experience. Not only do you get the freedom of customizing your home to your heart’s content, you also get the peace of mind knowing that you will no longer be dealing with all the trouble that goes into renting a home.

No security deposits, pet fees, or hidden charges, because everything about your home is your own, and you have the freedom and flexibility to live life your own way now that you and your family have planted roots in a new home.

Keeping Your Roof In Good Repair Is A Necessity!

However, one of the things that you need to keep in mind about owning your own home is that the cost to repair your home lies solely on your own shoulders. That means that when a situation arises such as a leaky roof, fallen tree, or other catastrophe, you need to be the one responsible and take care of it, or there might be even more consequences that lie in store.

This particularly is true for any roof repairs needed, since the roof is the most important part of your home in that it keeps you dry, safe, and warm.

Sometimes, You Just Need A New Roof

Sometimes, when the troubles get too much, replacing your roof is the way to go. The cost of a full on roof replacement can vary depending on the type of shingles you require, the size of your roof, and the individual contractor fee charged by the company who will be replacing your roof.

These all factor into a price that you will get quoted by each company you inquire about, and some of the differences in roofing cost per square foot between these companies may be particularly shocking for someone to have to compare themselves with our new roof cost calculator.

3 Tips to Prepare for Roof Repair

The constant exposure of your roof to the elements can take a toll on its performance. There will come a time when you have to fix some parts that, over time, have been eroded by the blazing heat of the sun, heavy rain, thick snow, or high winds.

Before doing any repair work, however, A1 Roofing and Construction, your premier roofing contractor, shares three tips to prepare:

1. Hire A Trusted Company

You wouldn’t want to entrust the job to unlicensed contractors. Make sure they have the proper credentials to perform any repair or installation. You also have to ask for references, or better yet, check client reviews. Verifying their credibility can help you protect your property and investment.

2. Know What You Are Getting Into

Familiarize yourself with the procedure. Knowing what to expect during the repair can minimize the stress. You will also have to anticipate which part of your home will be affected by the roofing project.

In some cases, homeowners need to relocate temporarily because of the dust and noise. In this instance, cover the furniture pieces and secure important belongings before the repair begins. Furthermore, remove wall-hanging frames and put them on the floor to avoid damage.

4. Create A Realistic Plan And Budget

Creating a comprehensive plan that will contain all the necessary details of the roof repair can help decrease your anxiety. You will have to include a reasonable budget that can cover the expenses throughout the project. A schedule that plots the target dates can also keep you track of the progress.

A1 Roofing and Construction offers excellent roof repair services that meet the highest standards of the industry. Our team will do a thorough inspection to determine roof issues and our experience allows us to spot any defect. To learn more, call us at (401) 265-1019.
