9 Commercial Roofing Tips
The ease of starting a roofing business without working capital, experience or education can make almost anyone a "commercial roofing contractor" overnight -- and it has, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is why I am sharing with you these tips for identifying a qualified roofing contractor.
Tip of the month
Reflective white acrylic coatings qualify roofs for LEED certification and Title 24 compliance. Extend the life of your roof indefinitely, and for a fraction of the cost of re-roofing. Fluid coatings fall under the category of "maintenance," therefore they can be fully expensed in a single year.
