By Ronald Martin


All structures will occasionally need some sort of maintenance to keep it in good condition and looking presentable. Many of these projects can be done by repairmen with basic skills and no particular certifications. However, when it comes to issues with the building's roof, even the smallest task should only be done by a professional commercial roofing contractor Decatur licensed and bonded.

When it comes to selecting someone to do projects of this sort, there are many options available, but this type of work is not something one should risk by going with just any company. The roof is, after all, an integral part of the structure, trusted to protect the people and items inside from the effects of the weather. Hiring the right crew to do a job of such importance requires one to do a bit of research prior to signing a contract.

These types of jobs are often opened for companies interested in taking the project on to submit a bid in hopes of being awarded the contract. The client will list all the specific details of the issue and what results they are expecting. A deadline will be set by which all parties must have their proposals completed and submitted for consideration.

All who are interested in the contract will be required to submit a proposal package that contains a detailed list of materials necessary for each action they plan to take, how many crew members are to be hired and the length of time it should take to complete the project. Other specifications, itemized costs and all requested credentials are also to be included. Clients generally disregard all bids that are significantly cheaper or more expensive than the average, because it is a sign of miscalculations or poor planning.

One of the most important things a client needs to verify is that all contractors being considered have the proper licensing required by the state. The company will need to show that they are able to obtain all the necessary permits for the actions they need to perform. It may also be advisable to request the certifications of all workers who will on the job site.

Another important factor is the proper bonding and insuring of the company and all employees who are scheduled to work. There are two types of policies, that of Workers Compensation and one for General Liability, that are almost always required. This coverage will protect both parties in cases of property damage or personal injuries that might happen on the job site.

Proper licensing and insurance, along with a well made proposal are some key factors that a client should use when making their selections, though it is also recommended to consider a company's reputation. Contacting those that have previously used their services and inquiring as to their level of professionalism is advisable. Visiting prior job sites can be a reliable way to judge the quality of their work.

In order to find the best company to perform the work professionally and reliably, a client needs to make sure to verify the credentials of any contracting service being considered. The issues of licensing, bonding and insurance are three points about which one should never be lenient. These, along with a complete, accurate and detailed proposal are all good indicators that quality work can be expected.
