Hiring the right commercial roofing contractors in Minneapolis can be stressful, but if you ask the right questions, the answers will surely make the process easier. Here are some topics that you should discuss with the candidate for your project before signing on the dotted line:

• Licenses – most states require roofers to obtain a state-issued license before they can start practicing. Ask the roofer whether he carries the required licenses as well as whether the documents are up to date;
• Insurances – commercial roofers are also required to carry a workman’s compensation insurance, regardless of the number of people they employ. Finding out about this aspect is important because if an accident happens on your property, someone gets injured and the contractor is not insured, you might be liable for the expenses of the injured person’s medical treatment;
• The treatment of waste – you will need to know exactly whether your old roof will be removed and you also need to know what will happen to the waste generated during the roofing project;
• Subcontractors – your roofer might outsource certain processes to subcontractors. If he does, you need to know exactly who will be working on your property and how will the quality of the work be ensured.
