Why are Accreditations are important in Commercial Roofing?

There are lots of options when you conduct a basic search for commercial roofing but do they really have the know-how and expertise to complete the job you need and expect? Accreditations in commercial roofing aren’t just pieces of paper on a wall or a way to ‘show off’ – they are important for several reasons:

1. Quality Assurance: Accredited roofing contractors must meet specific standards, which ensures they provide high-quality materials, workmanship, and services to a pre-determined level. This helps reduce the risk of poor workmanship or materials, which can lead to leaks, damage, or costly repairs down the line.

2. Trust and Credibility: Having industry-recognised certifications gives businesses and property owners confidence that the roofing contractor is knowledgeable, experienced, and committed to following best practices. It shows that the contractor has met or exceeded industry standards.

3. Legal and Safety Compliance: Roofing work involves safety risks and legal regulations. Accredited contractors are often required to comply with local building codes, safety regulations, and environmental standards, ensuring that the job is done safely and legally. Gable will not yield on the health and safety requirements.

4. Manufacturer Warranties: Many roofing material manufacturers require contractors to have specific certifications before they can install or repair their products under warranty. This means an accredited contractor can provide better warranty options, which can be critical for long-term protection. Gable Projects hold multiple approved and accredited positions with suppliers.

5. Insurance and Liability: Accredited contractors typically carry insurance, which protects both them and the property in case of accidents or mistakes. This reduces the risk of financial loss on both parties, due to unforeseen problems.

6. Professionalism and Industry Recognition: Accreditations often reflect a commitment to continuous education and staying up to date with the latest industry trends, technologies, and techniques. This can help a contractor remain competitive and offer the best solutions to clients.

7. Problem Resolution and Accountability: When a contractor is accredited, there is often a governing body or affiliations that can mediate and resolve disputes, giving clients a clear path to seek resolution if something goes wrong with the project.
