Does the roofing company have the workforce to handle the project? This really needs to be taken into consideration, particularly when getting bids on large projects. Getting stuck in a nightmare scenario where deadlines need to be met and don't, typically happen when dealing with companies that do not have the people for the job.
Are they both a licensed roofing contractor & general contractor?
Holding both of these licenses is very beneficial and can help projects go much smoother without having to deal with bringing in more contractors. A large percentage of commercial roofing projects end up needing additional work elsewhere, in places that someone that holds only a roofing license wouldn't be able to touch.
Has the company worked on commercial projects similar to yours?
No two commercial roofing jobs are the same. However, it is still important to verify that the company you want to work with has experience with similar projects.
What is their reputation like?
This can be make or break and is a step that should NOT be overlooked. It is important to vet the company. Make sure they have good reviews and few if any, negative ones. And if there are negative reviews, be conscious of whether the company responded and took care of their client's problems.
Be careful when receiving very low bids!
While it is tempting to go with the lowest possible cost, keep in mind you get what you pay for. Everyone needs to make a profit at the end of the day, and if you choose a company running super thin margins, any errors made will mean they need to cut corners! Price is a factor that is without question but should not be the only factor. The company's experience and ability to properly do the job should come first. Often when a company is bidding very low, it is due to inexperience, so be wary!
