The company offers emergency services and caters to multi-tenant properties, retail spaces, and historic commercial buildings, which require specialized material-matching and restoration expertise.

What to Ask Before Hiring

Before committing to any contractor, ask whether the company uses its own crews or subcontractors, and who will be your dedicated on-site supervisor. Ask for proof of general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage in writing. Confirm what manufacturer certifications they hold and what their workmanship warranty covers beyond the standard manufacturer guarantee. And ask for references from recent local projects, especially jobs similar to yours in scope or building type.

A legitimate Richmond roofer should be able to show you their DPOR license verification before you sign anything.
