One of the ways to vet a local roofing company is to check their certifications. Of course, not all certifications are held in the same regard—some certifications are more widely recognized and carry more weight. One such certification is membership in the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), one of the country’s most respected nonprofit trade associations.
What are the advantages of working with an NRCA contractor?
Of course, an NRC-member contractor needs to comply with all of the minimum requirements, including a permanent business address, a business license, tax identification number, and insurance coverage. You don’t have to worry about whether an NRCA member-contractor meets the bare minimum because, in a sense, the organization has already vetted them.
Just meeting the bare minimum isn’t enough, however. The NRCA also requires roofers to give detailed estimates to its customers. A roof replacement is a significant investment, after all. These detailed estimates and proposals can help homeowners craft meticulous budgets and comprehensive project timelines.
NRCA contractors also help maximize homeowners’ ROIs. The association requires them to provide info and options that can help increase household energy-efficiency.
While the NRCA vets all its members to make sure they’re qualified, it’s impossible to completely rule out the possibility of errors. In the unlikely event that one a member-contractor makes a serious error installation, you can rest easy knowing that the NRCA requires all its members to honor all warranties and stand by the quality of their work.
