FAQs
What does it mean that your roofing crews are factory-certified?
Factory certification is an advanced credential issued directly by leading shingle and membrane manufacturers—such as GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed—after contractors meet stringent requirements for training, workmanship, insurance, and customer satisfaction. Our crews have completed the manufacturers’ hands-on installation courses, passed periodic audits, and maintain ongoing continuing-education hours to stay current with new materials, tools, and safety standards. This third-party vetting assures Robbins homeowners and property managers that every roof we install meets or exceeds the exact specifications set by the product maker.
Why should I choose factory-certified crews for my Robbins home?
Using a factory-certified crew gives you three major advantages: 1) Proven quality—statistically, certified installers have dramatically fewer installation-related callbacks because every technician follows manufacturer-approved methods. 2) Extended warranties—only certified contractors can register high-tier warranties (often 25–50 years, non-prorated) that cover both materials AND labor. 3) Local accountability—because certification can be revoked for poor performance, we have a built-in incentive to deliver first-rate craftsmanship on every Robbins project.
What warranties can I expect with a factory-certified roof installation?
When we install a roof with our factory-certified crews, you become eligible for the manufacturer’s premium warranty packages—typically including 25- to 50-year coverage on shingles or membranes, 10- to 25-year coverage on workmanship, and, on some systems, wind and algae protection upgrades. We handle all registration paperwork with the manufacturer so your warranty is fully validated before we leave the site. In the unlikely event of an issue, warranty claims go through us and the manufacturer jointly, ensuring faster resolution and zero finger-pointing.
How does certification benefit commercial property owners in Robbins?
Commercial roofs are larger investments with stricter performance requirements. Certified crews give Robbins facility managers peace of mind that membranes are heat-welded, fasteners are spaced correctly, and drainage calculations meet manufacturer specs—critical for flat roofs. Many insurers also reduce premiums or waive engineering inspections when the roof is installed by a factory-certified contractor, because risk of early failure is significantly lower. Finally, certified installers can offer No-Dollar-Limit (NDL) warranties up to 30 years, protecting your balance sheet for decades.
Are your crews familiar with Robbins building codes and local weather challenges?
Yes. Besides factory certification, our production managers attend annual code-update seminars for Cook County and Robbins municipal ordinances. We pull all required permits, schedule inspections, and ensure compliance with ice-barrier, ventilation, and fire-rating rules specific to our area. From a climate standpoint, Robbins experiences high wind gusts off Lake Michigan, freeze-thaw cycles, and occasional hail. Our crews integrate enhanced underlayment, six-nail fastening patterns, and impact-rated shingles or membranes to withstand these conditions.
Will hiring factory-certified crews affect the cost or timeline of my roofing project?
Because our teams are trained to do the job right the first time, projects often finish sooner than non-certified competitors—typically one to two days faster on a standard Robbins residential roof. Up-front pricing may be 5–10% higher due to better-qualified labor and the need to follow manufacturer-mandated installation steps. However, that modest premium is usually offset by longer material life, lower maintenance costs, and the value of the enhanced warranty. In short, you gain long-term savings and peace of mind without significant schedule delays.
