Finding The Right Atlanta Roofing Contractors

By Andrew B. Spates


There are dozens of Atlanta roofing contractors capable of providing services for property owners in North Georgia. Every contractor has a differing level of commitment, and their rates also tend to vary a lot. The key to finding the right one is to establish a relationship that is mutually beneficial. It helps build trust and the ability to call upon them for any and all issues related to the roof.

Roof installation or replacement is just one of the many services that may be required. Both commercial and residential properties need to be maintained properly. There are sidings and gutters that may need to be fixed, along with skylights, ventilation, etc. Other roof issues that may require attention include coloring shingles, insulating attics, and getting estimates for damage caused by hail or wind.

If the property owner is supposed to find someone who can handle all this and more, the choice has to be made after careful consideration. Look for someone who has a good reputation all over North Georgia and can provide references. The firm has to be registered, and the contractor sent to do the job must be bonded, insured and licensed.

Look at what additional roofing industry credentials the contractor can provide. A GAF-Elk certification is a good example, since it comes from the biggest roofing products manufacturer in North America. The company only certifies well-trained professionals able to provide high-quality services.

A GAF-Elk certified contractor is someone who is fully licensed to provide services in the state. They must have the adequate amount of insurance to cover projects undertaken. Commitment to ongoing training is required, and they have to maintain a good reputation as someone who provides high-quality roofing services for the community.

A useful indicator of the provider's reliability and skills is the BBB or Better Business Bureau rating. Also check to see if the firm is included in the System of Award Management or SAM database of federally approved contractors. Uncle Sam doesn't easily allow firms to get listed, and it is a sure sign that the company is reliable and capable. Checking the D-U-N-S number (required for a federal contractor) and the profile created for the firm by Dun & Bradstreet may also provide an accurate picture of the contractor's business history.

Atlanta roofing contractors who can jump through all these hoops will be good enough for any customer. They will have the requisite licensing and insurance required to safeguard the property owner's legal and financial interests. Make sure the provider can handle both residential and commercial roof installation and replacement, along with other minor repairs and emergency work. It won't be easy, but finding someone who can live up to all these requirements will ensure that any future problem related to roofs will be dealt with quickly and in a professional manner.
