The Problem: leaky standing seam metal commercial roof.
A potential commercial roofing customer recently contacted us due to interior leaks, suspecting a roof issue. The initial roofing assessment, by another Knoxville roofing company, suggested replacing all standing seam metal roofs, a costly recommendation. Seeking a second opinion, they reached out to Cover Pro Roofing for a free inspection. Thankfully, they did. Our thorough free inspection revealed the cause—a maintenance issue. The gutters, not cleaned for years, were obstructed, leading to clogged downspouts. As a result, water accumulated and flowed into the building, causing damage.
The Solution: get multiple roofing quotes and clean out your gutters. Simple as that.
Receiving multiple roofing quotes is a smart move. It helps you make an informed decision by comparing costs, quality, reputation, and overall value from different contractors. This careful consideration reduces the chance of unexpected expenses and ensures a successful roofing project. Let’s break this down.
Compare Quotes
• Reach out to multiple roofing companies for quotes.
• Compare costs to ensure a fair and
competitive price.
• Have the contractor review each quote’s scope of work and ask questions.
Explore Materials & Styles
• Ensure the contractor explains the materials quoted for a high-quality roofing system to allow you to explore different materials and styles, considering your preferences and budget.
• Prioritize quality over price.
Research Contractor’s Reputation
• Research and obtain references to assess contractors’ reputation.
• Check online reviews and past projects for reliability.
Avoid Unpleasant Surprises
• To prevent unexpected costs, carefully review each contractor’s quote and ask questions about the scope of work. Some quotes may miss important details, so comparing multiple quotes helps identify those missing details.
• Discuss potential costly surprises with the contractor and understand how they are accounted for in the quote to avoid unpleasant financial surprises later on.
