Commercial Roofing Contractor

4 Safety Questions to Ask Your Commercial Roofing Contractor

Choosing a properly certified commercial roofing contractor can be a difficult decision for those looking to repair or maintain their commercial building’s roof. Since roofing is essentially unregulated in Ontario, one of the most important considerations as a consumer should be safety. By getting answers to a few simple questions, proper protection can be assured for both the consumer and the commercial roofing contractor.

1. What safety certifications does the commercial roofing contractor have?

Proper safety equipment is needed for all types of commercial roofing and until proof of safety certification is shown to the consumer, roof work should not proceed.

2. Is the roofing contractor registered with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)?

Certified commercial roofing companies who are in good standing with the WSIB will also have liability insurance, which covers any damage caused by third-party negligence.

3. How much insurance coverage does the roofing contractor have?

Any professional commercial roofing company will carry between $2-5 million in liability insurance. As a consumer, it’s important to ask your contractor this question because if an accident were to occur and sufficient insurance was not attained by the roofing company, your insurance policy would have to cover the costs.

4. Is the roofing company registered with the Better Business Bureau or another business standards organization?

By looking into the BBB database, consumers can see a history of the particular contractor and their practices.

Flat Roofers Coating Services Inc. is a 100% WSIB-insured commercial roofing contractor, whose managing partners have experience dating back to 1985. Flat Roofers has a superior knowledge of the roofing industry as all employees are properly certified and follow stringent roofing practices and procedures.
