Dallas Commercial Roofing Contractors – how to know you’re working with a legitimate business?

February 22nd, 2010 No Comments

Having troubles finding a qualified Commercial Dallas Roofing Contractor for your project?

Here are a few tips to help your business pre-screen a Flat  Roof/ Dallas Commercial Roofer with simplicity!

Unfortunately Dallas Roofers are not required to carry a specific type of license… the first step you will want to take to ensure your working with a legitimate Dallas Roofing Contractor is to verify they have registered with the Dallas Small Business Administration…

Another good starting point would be to check that the Dallas Roofer you’re working with does not have a unsatisfactory rating with the Dallas BBB. If no records are available it’s worth contacting the Dallas BBB to verify you’re working with a legitimate business.

Also request that the roofer you’re considering working with carries the right state required insurance. You can do this by simply asking them for proof of insurance. Once they supply you with proof – don’t stop! Call the insurance company to verify the insurance is in fact  active.

When all else fails you can visit www.doneright.com – they pre-screen home improvement contractors nationwide for you. It’s also a free service with no obligation.

Good luck!

Avoid hiring the wrong contractorsWritten by: Sean Hakes

There are many ways to avoid turning your home improvement project into a complete home disaster, the first step is to ensure your working with a reputable trustworthy contractor who is a master at his or hers skilled trade.

Here are a few tips to avoid hiring the “Wrong” Contractor:

  1. AVOID LOCAL YELLOW PAGES: The traditional way to hire a home service professional is to break open your local Yellow Pages, this worked in the past but offers no true screening process which means your diving into a potential disaster!
  2. CHECK REFERENCES: If you do happen to hire a contractor using traditional media, make sure you ask the contractor for references, and check them!
  3. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL BBB: Many ‘reputable’ contractors in some cases try to ‘throw things by you,’ sneaky contracts etc… Check out the contractor your about to work with through your local BBB and make sure there aren’t any red flags when it comes to their reliability report…

There are many referral programs out there that guarantees you’ll be working with a ‘pre-screened‘ home services contractor, but there is only one that not only screens your contractors, they also back your project with a CASH Guarantee, that’s the DoneRight! guarantee.

When your finding it hard to trust a local contractor, or you simply don’t have time to screen them yourself, visit http://www.doneright.com, they do all the hard work and back your project with a full service, cash guarantee.
