Here at CR Roofing, we’ve determined that the best mission statement for our business is a short statement regarding why we exist, our over-all goals, identifying those goals, what type of services and products we provide, our primary customers and market, as well as our geographical region of operation.

"CR Roofing delivers only the highest quality, guaranteed, roofing services at reasonable rates and we are dedicated to world-class service and results for all of our customers."

CR Roofing can’t stress enough how important it is to choose the right roofing contractor, which is often a difficult task for consumers who are unfamiliar with the roofing industry. Unfortunately Roofing in Alberta is largely an unregulated industry. As a result, it is important to choose a roofer who will be in business to honor their workmanship in the future, in the event that you should require it. There are a large number of roofing contractors who are not fully trained and have both low quality installations and poor workmanship. We can tell you that the average start-up business is usually closed within three years, and may be out of business when a potential roofing problem could arise.

As a result, CR Roofing has complied a list of important tip and questions that can help you choose the right roofing company. Please see below.

Are they Certified?

Certain product manufacturers offer stronger warranties when products are installed by certified individuals.

How Long Has the Company Been in Business?

An established company will most likely be around in the future should any problems arise.

Do they Have a Permanent Address?

An established roofing company should be able to provide you with a phone number, email and business address. A permanent business address is sign of a stable company.

Do they use Subcontractors?

Unfortunately, subcontractors are often paid on a per-job basis, which can result in a rushed job and poor workmanship, as the job is completed as fast as possible.

Written Contracts, Estimates and Deposits

All job specifications and prices should be supplied in writing. Established companies with strong financial stability usually do not require a deposit. Deposits are common, be skeptical of contractors asking more than a 1/3 of the cost of the project.

BBB or a local Chamber of Commerce Member?

Its generally a good idea to research all potential contractors on the BBB and your local Chamber of Commerce. Look for the overall business rating and keep in mind that general size of the company when checking for complaints.
