by Conach Marketing GroupThe Role of a Roofing Consultant
A roofing consultant is a client’s best chance at receiving experienced, unbiased, and productive feedback on their current roofing system. Unlike other types of roofing professionals, a certified roofing consultant has no ulterior motives for your roofing system and can give much more focused advice on how you should maintain your roof over time.
Because a roofing consultant does not represent any manufacturing company, and does not install roofs in any capacity, their recommendations are much more objective. In short, a roofing consultant works directly for you, the client. Because of this, they will suggest materials that fit within your desired budget, suggest designs that function best for your needs, and design a long-term care plan that gives your roof the longest service life.
In the long run, a roofing consultant is the most cost-effective tool for maintaining your roof. They do not benefit from unnecessary replacements or premature repairs, and are therefore not financially motivated in any way, shape, or form.
Apart from the cost-saving measures that a roofing consultant provides, they also bring to the table experience and connections that can be greatly beneficial throughout your roof’s service life. For example, a consultant can suggest qualified manufacturers and contractors to be invited to compete for work.
Furthermore, consultants are highly knowledgeable about regulations and standards that are critical to roof management. From building codes to environmental regulations, to insurance requirements, a consultant can make focused recommendations that keep your building in full compliance at all times.
Designing, installing, maintaining, and repairing a roofing system is often a team effort, and including a qualified roofing consultant on your team can be a huge asset to you professionally and financially. Creating a long-term plan for maintaining your roof with your consultant gives you valuable insight into how you can take proactive, rather than reactive, measures to increase your roof’s life expectancy.
