Hiring the right contractor for HOA roofing is one of the biggest decisions a condo association or homeowners association can make. Many HOA boards learn the hard way that the contractor they hired didn’t have the right experience, proper insurance, or the organization needed for large community projects.
Before signing a contract, here is how to properly verify an HOA roofing contractor.
1. Verify Licensing and Insurance
Every HOA should request proof of:
- Connecticut licensing (go to this website to verify: https://elicense.ct.gov/Lookup/LicenseLookup.aspx)
- General liability insurance
- Workers’ compensation insurance
Ask for current certificates and verify coverage directly if needed. A professional HOA roofing contractor can provide documentation quickly and without hesitation.
2. Check Online Reviews Across Multiple Platforms
One of the easiest ways to evaluate an HOA roofing company is by looking at reviews from real customers. Don’t rely on a single review platform, look at multiple!
- BBB
- GuildQuality
- GAF.com
3. Ask About HOA Roofing Experience Specifically
Re-roofing a single-family home is very different from managing a large-scale, multi-phase project. You need a contractor who is great at communicating with residents about timeline, parking and safety, etc.
Ask the contractor:
- How many HOA roofing or condo projects have you completed?
- Can you provide photographs of similar communities, and give a referral for us to verify?
- How do you communicate with residents during projects?
- What is your safety plan?
4. Verify Manufacturer Certifications
Manufacturer certifications matter because they show the contractor meets higher standards for installation, training, and professionalism. Manufacturer certifications also provide access to stronger warranty options for HOA communities. For example, Harmony Home Improvement is a GAF Master Elite contractor. That status is awarded to only a small percentage of roofing contractors nationwide and it proves we have extensive factory training and are able to offer factory-certified installations and extensive warranties not available to everyone.
5. Look at Longevity and Financial Stability
A warranty is only as good as the company issuing it. Anyone can offer a 50-year shingle warranty … but could they make good on it if you make a claim? Unless the contractor has decades of business under their belt, it’s best to avoid them for a large HOA project. Figure out how long they’ve been in business (and verify it!), and exactly what their warranties entail.
