Top Mistakes Property Managers Make When Hiring a Roofer

Don’t let the wrong roofing partner cost you time, money, or tenant trust. Here are the top mistakes to avoid.


Mistake 1: Choosing the Lowest Bid

Cheap bids often lead to change orders, delays, or subpar work. Always compare scope, not just price.


Mistake 2: Not Checking References

Ask for apartment-specific references and call them. Not all roofers understand multifamily logistics.


Mistake 3: No Warranty or License

Make sure your roofer is fully insured, licensed, and provides written warranty terms.


Mistake 4: Poor Communication

If they’re hard to reach before the job, they’ll be harder during it. Communication matters.


Mistake 5: Skipping the Inspection

Never approve a roofing job without a formal inspection, moisture test, and condition report.
