Workforce: Commercial roofing demands a much larger workforce. Jobs can last for months and require multiple crews at a time to see the project reach its deadlines. It is important to make sure the company you want to hire is adequately staffed to handle not only your job but presumably others and still reach the completion on schedule.
Licensing: For commercial roofing it is an advantage if the company not only holds a commercial roofing license but also holds a general contractors license. Many commercial roofing projects end up needing further construction done to complete the project. If one company can handle everything that can save not only money but time as well, and greatly limit the frustrations of having to juggle dealing with multiple contractors.
Experience: It is never advisable to be someone's guinea pig! Be wary of inexperienced roofing companies trying to crack into the commercial realm. Always be sure to review their portfolio of work and be sure that they have completed jobs akin to yours.
Reputation: Much like in any other industry or aspect of life, reputation is king. Make sure the company you want to work with has a stellar reputation, and if they do have any negative reviews, be sure to see how they responded to adversity.
Low Bids: This piece of advice is perhaps the hardest for people to follow. As it is very hard to pass up on accepting a bid that is far lower than the others. However, often you get what you pay for. Low bidding is something desperate companies will do in order to get work, usually inexperienced companies that are trying to make a name for themselves. While occasionally this can work out, it can often backfire when problems arise and the budget isn't enough to cover them.
