It’s not easy to obtain the surety bond a roofing contractor needs to do business. They have to submit plenty of information, such as proof of credit, many financial statements, and proof the company doesn’t abuse its workers. A newer company without much work history will have a tough time obtaining a bond, and if they do get one, it may be limited. When you learn that your roofing contractor is bonded, it’s a sign that the company has been in business for some time and has a good track record. Take the time required to do your research up front. This is how you can be sure to hire a professional who is licensed, insured, bonded and who’s poised to make your roofing installation a success.
