What You Need to Know about Roofer Certifications

Residential roofing contractors can receive certifications from roofing material manufacturers. These certifications are not awarded lightly, since they represent a financial commitment by the manufacturer to back up the contractor’s work. You should know how to compare and evaluate residential roofing companies, and one key to assessment is the certifications a roofer carries.

The seven major certifications Adams Roofing Professionals has worked hard to earn are a roll call of the industry’s best. We are recognized regionally as a superior residential roofing contractor, and these certifications bear that out:

Trust

Adams Roofing Professionals is locally owned and operated. Thousands of Schaumburg and area homeowners have trusted us to install residential roofing products over the years. We never, not for one instant, take that trust lightly.

Some local roofers like to rest on their laurels, content to have won some recognition years ago. This is another way you can compare roofers: what does their recent work reveal? Are they still sending employees to manufacturers’ training programs? Or are they dragging out some certification from long ago, hoping you will not ask about current accomplishments?

For your Schaumburg, Palatine or Arlington Heights home, please contact us at Adams Roofing Professionals for the very best in residential roofing.

I wanted to let you know about an experience I had with one of your employees. I live at 1200 Knottingham Court in Kingsport Estates and apparently, your company is servicing our condo association. My building has had a leak in the entryway for several months and Eddie was dispatched out to have me show him the source of the leak inside. I met him on Friday, September 21st and just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with his friendliness and professionalism. He immediately found the source of the leak and even went up on the roof to show me. He assured me that someone would take care of it as soon as possible and told me he would give the report priority to avoid any further damage. As someone who used to be in Customer Service, I always value a company that hires people that are not only skilled at their trade, but also skilled at interacting with people. Eddie is a great example of that and I wanted you to know so you could tell him what a great job he does! I am so glad that Alma Management chose Adams Roofing to be our roofing contractor!...

Charlie, Thanks very much for replacing the gutter! No one has been out to do it, at least before I left for work this morning. But I will definitely let you know whether it’s done correctly. I am very satisfied with your roofing job. It looks great, and more importantly, there were no leaks when it rained (even though we haven’t gotten really hard rains yet). So, I have been very pleased with my experience with Adams, especially with the professionalism and responsiveness of you and Dan. Thanks.... [more]

I wanted to take a moment to comment on your technician, Eddie. Eddie was assigned to inspect a roof leak I am having in my home in Cobblestone Circle. He was prompt, professional, courteous and informative; everything a customer could ask for when inviting a contractor into their home. Eddie represents Adams Roofing Well; and clearly he is an asset to your company. Kudos to him! Thank you.... [more]
