How to Find the Best Portland Roofers.

When you are searching for Portland roofers, whether online, in the newspaper, yellow pages or any other media, all you really know about them is what they tell you.   One area that tends to get overlooked is the issue of what or who is behind the guy who comes to your door.   Let me elaborate.

The best Portland roofers you will find!

Two Portland roofers come to your home and give you estimates.   Let’s assume they both propose very similar things about your roof project.   You feel the same level of confidence with both individuals.   So, where do you go from here in your decision making process?

While there are many additional factors, for this discussion let’s just focus on company size.   I propose that there are negatives to both too small and too large of a company.   The large company, with 100 plus roofers, has more obvious negatives.   It is easier for the homeowner to become lost in the shuffle.   Many employees are just seasonal temps with lower skill sets brought on to help slam out jobs fast.   Personal attention is usually very low.

However, the company that is too small presents even more detrimental factors.  Some homeowners get sucked into the presumed attractiveness of having the owner/estimator/manager being the one “pounding the nails.”   If the Portland roofer you choose to hire is basically a “one man show” who runs his own crew with a couple of helpers,” you are at great risk in a couple of areas.   Essentially, there is no backup if ANYTHING goes wrong.

If the owner has any problem (injury, employee related, financial) you project might be greatly delayed.   If he were to get injured in the middle of your project it would sit half completed.   Do you really want to try finding other Portland roofers to finish your exposed roof on short order?   If you make it through your project OK, be aware that all future support and service throughout the warranty are still dependent upon this one person’s capabilities.

Then consider that a small, one person business is usually less financial capability.   Why should you care?   Because a lack financial strength manifests itself in forms such as requiring high deposits (in order to finance the job) and the risk possible liens against your property if they can not pay their suppliers.  Simply put, when you hire too small of a roofing contractor, the fate of your project and all future service are tied up with a single individual.   That is not a comforting thought.

If you want Portland Roofers who are big enough to get your job done promptly and be there to protect you in the future yet without treating you as just a number, it’s time to call All Surface!
