An Overview Of The Roofing Industry

In order to understand the importance of hiring a roofing contractor who has been certified by the manufacturer, it might be helpful to have a quick overview of the roofing industry in Pennsylvania. This information can help you save thousands of dollars over the long run.

Your roof is the most important element protecting your house, but in most cases, it adds up to only 4% of the cost. The lowest bid is not always the best choice — here's why:

In Pennsylvania and several other states, there are no requirements at all to become a roofer. Anyone with a hammer and a nail gun can install your new roof.

There are building codes that regulate how roofs should be installed, but the sad truth is that there's often no way to tell if the code has been followed. The roof is already in place when the inspector visits, and many of the important parts are no longer visible and cannot be inspected.

Complaints about roofers make up over 70% of the complaints received by the Better Business Bureau. It falls on you, the homeowner, to protect your home and investment by making a wise choice about your roofing contractor.

An Overview Of Manufacturer Certification

Several roofing material manufacturers have responded to these problems by developing certification programs for their products. The typical shingle manufacturer certification program requires a contractor to use three of the manufacturer's system components, such as felt, ice and water shield, and shingles, to get an upgraded warranty on an installation.

While this is a step up from the average materials warranty and an improvement over the roof being installed by someone with little or no expertise, it's not perfect. You may still be left with a large bill if you ever need to make a claim on the warranty, especially if the contractor also used materials from a different company.

You may even find that the contractor has done other things that disqualify your warranty claim, such as installing improper insulation and ventilation in the attic. This kind of simple certification doesn't always mean that much.

To protect your home and your investment in it, it's worth hiring a contractor who has gone through the more advanced certification process and earned a factory's best accreditation. Penn Ohio Roofing is proud to say that we've earned and maintained some of the top certifications in the industry.
