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.

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?
