When you need your facility serviced, who are you more likely to trust – the local firm that’s a staple of your community? Or the big, national company?
While your answer may vary based on what you need, when it comes to major facility improvements like a new roof, shopping locally is almost always the better option. In this post, we’ll cover three of the main reasons why it just makes sense to do business with a local roofer. Here’s a closer look:
3 Reasons to Select a Local Roofer
Area Familiarity
Don’t underestimate the value of area familiarity when selecting your roofer. Not only are response times likely to be faster and customer service likely to be better, but locally-based roofers also have knowledge of area building codes and other challenges that a certain project may face. Furthermore, local roofers know the weather patterns, history of building in the area, and various other intangibles that may come into play during a project.
Verifiable Reputation
Sometimes, the best marketing a company can do is word-of-mouth advertising. Other coworkers, acquaintances, or building owners can suggest a particular contractor and recommend that you work with them too. For local roofing companies, reputation is everything. In fact, many work hard to build a quality reputation within the community to generate this all-important word-of-mouth buzz. And while a reputation starts with a fair price, it ends with customer service, knowledgeable professionals, and quality work. Make sure you choose a contractor you know you can trust.
Buy Local
Last but not least, it’s always good to spend money with community-based firms to help support them and your community. With so many businesses being acquired by larger, national corporations, small, local businesses these days can be hard to find. But there’s still a lot to be said about working with a local firm – and you’re likely to have a better overall experience because of it as well. Spending money with local businesses helps create local jobs and contributes to growing the local tax base, which thereby helps improve community amenities.
