Contractor Questions

Questions everyone should ask a contractor prior to hiring for a project

Experience - how many years experience does the actual spray applicator have, NOT the business itself?

The applicators experience is going to be evident in the final application. Take for example paint and body shops who have been in business for years or paint and body shops who have  hired painters fresh out of trade school.  The difference shows in the cars' finish as compared to a paint job that was done by a seasoned professional.

Dallas/Ft Worth Urethane employs two seasoned applicators, one with over 32 years experience and another with over 27 years experience. Both have been with Dallas/Urethane for over 25 years. Because of our years of experience, our roofs are second to none.

Is the contractor bondable?

Dallas/Ft Worth Urethane is capable of bonding jobs up to $6 million dollars. The only way to get bonding of this amount is to have a proven track record of successful, problem-free jobs in your portfolio. Dallas/Ft Worth Urethane has excelled in customer satisfaction, and as a result we have a very impressive list of satisfied customers.

What is the thickness of the coating that will be applied?

Make sure that the quote for your urethane roof reflects the thickness of the urethane foam as well as either the thickness or the gallons per square of coating as well as type of coating that will used. Don’t just compare prices. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples so to speak. There are lots of contractors who intentionally leave out this key info which will let them cheapen the job up and boost their profits at your expense.

Is your contractor willing to include in his quote the services of an outside roofing inspector to inspect and make sure that you have received the proper thickness of the urethane foam and thickness of the coating that has been contracted by you?

Dallas/Ft Worth Urethane will gladly include the services of an outside inspector on any of our jobs.

What type of warranty are you getting with your new roof?

Dallas/Ft Worth Urethane is a manufacturer preferred contractor.  This means that we can furnish you with a written warranty from the manufacturer itself, not just a contractor warranty.

References are important - does your potential contractor have verifiable references?

Ask to go see and inspect at least three of their roofs that they have done in your area that are at least 5 years old. If they can’t show any roofs, be wary!

What type of people does your contractor have employed that will be on your property?

All of Dallas/Ft Worth Urethane’s employees have gone through criminal background checks from a US Department of Defense contractor and have all been cleared to work. All of Dallas/Ft Worth Urethane employees are legal US citizens with no criminal background.
