Roofing

Roofing contractors in Texas do not need to be licensed by the state. This means anybody—we mean anybody—can set themselves up as a commercial roofing company. As a facility or property manager, it falls to you to perform due diligence and protect your business property by choosing the right commercial roofing company.

Licensing and Insurance

Some conscientious Texas roofers obtain a license through the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT). RCAT screens individual contractors for you, the consumer (residential or commercial) so you know the license holder:

  • Is a principal in a Texas roofing company for at least three years
  • Submitted credit references
  • Submitted business references
  • Submitted proof of financial responsibility, including insurance, bonding, and workers compensation

This licensing process is more rigorous than some states’ requirements. Brad Beldon of BELDON® Roofing Company, for example, holds RCAT license #64.

Leading By Example

Look to a local industry leader for a commercial roofing company that is big enough to handle your business’s roofing needs. You want a roofer who has vast experience and local roots. Despite BELDON® Roofing Company’s size (BELDON® Roofing Company ranked #8 in the nation for 2015, according to Roofing Contractor magazine), we still maintain a solid local presence, dedicated to helping San Antonio and Texas companies protect their businesses with careful roof repair, maintenance, and re-roofing.

Behind the Price

A complete roof replacement by a professional commercial roofing company is not going to be cheap. It will not be cheaply done—as in poor quality—nor will it be cheap, as in inexpensive. You do not want to skimp on the roof that protects your business’s assets, employees, customers, and inventory.

Some roofers may offer to make repairs or perform a complete tear-off and new installation for astonishingly low amounts. Remember, though, that price is not all to a roof.

Behind the price, is the contractor local, reliable, and trustworthy? Are the crews day laborers or subcontractors? Is the work overseen expertly by a site manager, or are the crews unsupervised?

Ask to see recent projects for any roofer soliciting your business. Ask who the on-site manager was, the one person the client could turn to during the job to get questions answered. The slightest hesitation should send a warning to you: move on!
