▶ Sure-Weld TPO Roofing Systems - YouTube

Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) is the fastest-growing segment of the commercial roofing industry, and Carlisle is the leading supplier of this type of roofing material. Carlisle's white and tan Sure-Weld® TPO membranes are ENERGY STAR®-rated and Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC)-certified, and have been directly attributed to a reduction in energy use and cooling costs for buildings in warm, southern climates.

A Few Tips On Hiring A Roofing Contractor

Using A Contractor? Here are some tips for to make the best choice:

Call your local roofing distributor and ask for a list of qualified contractors.
Why? Roofing contractors are their customers. They know who pays their bills on time, what companies are prepared for deliveries, if there are problems on their jobs. The distributors know if the company is run like a business. That is important.

Call on the roofing contractor's referrals.
The best people to verify the quality of the installation is the people they have installed a roof for. Ask the contractor if they have a job in progress you can drive by. See how the jobsite looks, ask the homeowners if this has been a good experience so far. Call for a referral on a job a few years old, did they have to call the contractor back?

Make sure they have insurance.
It is important for safety on your job and the safety of the employees. Contractors that don't pay insurance can offer pricing way lower. Why should you care? If they get hurt on your job you may be liable.
 
The lowest bid is not always the best way to go.
The lowest estimate may be a great deal BUT do your homework. If the contractor makes no profit how can he survive to fix your roof later if there is a problem? Perhaps he is not carrying insurance. Perhaps he measured incorrectly. A price too low can mean trouble.

Permits and Licenses
Not all states have contractor's licenses and not all cities have building permits but it is always safe to check and make sure the contractor is licensed and your job is permitted when required. If you get caught without a permit the building inspector could make you tear-off your roof.

Keep in Mind
When you hire the undocumented, the unlicensed and the uninsured you may be saving money now but you pay for it in other ways. Higher taxes and insurance. Do the right thing. They also are unfair competition for licensed contractors who operate with bonds, insurance and other responsible business practices. You will have no recourse if the installation is inferior and the roof fails. Know what you are buying and who you are buying it from.

Business is Business
Make sure your expectations are put in writing and make sure you understand your contract. Be wary of large down payments and don't let payments get ahead of the work. You are making a substantial risk with your money and your new roof.

This is your home.
This kind of project deserves a quality job. Your roof protects the structure of your home, all of your possessions and your family. You could get kitchen cabinets on sale but there should be no cutting corners in roofing.

That doesn't mean you can't be a smart shopper.
Value is good, Cheap is bad.

A few final things to remember:
-There can always be hidden surprises when you tear the old roof off. Wood and termite damage will add extra cost to your roof.
- You always need to allow extra material for cutting, waste and doubling up on materials around critical areas.    The measurements should be accurate with your contractors measurements but the materials ordered should be slightly higher.
- Proper Ventilation for your roof may be extra. Your contractor will need to evaluate each job based on insulation and your roofs ability   to ventilate your house. Chances are good that you will have a good system in place. Improper ventilation could result in failure of   your roof systems, such as causing wood rot or early deterioration of the roofing materials.

Experts recommend that flat commercial roofs be inspected at least once a year

Roofing experts recommend that roofs be inspected at least once a year for damage and wear. Early identification of a roofing problem may head off more costly repairs at a later date. Since most of us are not likely to make a regular habit of climbing up and inspecting our roofs, we typically call on professionals to handle this task. Roofing contractors will often perform a free inspection in hopes that they will be hired to do any repair or installation. Hiring a roofing contractor requires the same caution as hiring any other building professional. Ask friends and neighbors for recommendations. Get the names of several contractors and check them out with the BBB. Obtain local references and examine the finished work if possible. Get a detailed written estimate of the work, including labor and materials. When comparing cost estimates, make sure that the bids are based on the same set of specifications and materials. Get a written commitment as to how long the work will take. Be sure that the company is properly licensed and that its workers are covered by company insurance. Do not make full payment until you have inspected and are satisfied with the work. Be sure that all aspects of the roofing job are detailed in writing before signing any contract; never sign a contract with sections left blank. Finally, determine what sort of guarantees apply to materials and labor and get the guarantees in writing.Roof coating has become an increasingly popular way of trying to deal with roofing problems. Such coatings can add protection against the elements and also reduce the possibility of fire. Consumers should keep in mind that coatings help to protect and maintain the existing roof; to be effective, they must be applied before any serious roof deterioration occurs. Coating is not a cheap alternative to repair or replacement of the roof. Roof coating is also a source of one of the most frequent roofing scams. Consumers should be extremely cautious in selecting a roof coating company and its roofing product.
