By Date : March 07,2024

Sourcing high-quality roofing materials completely depends upon how genuine and professional your contacts are. So, the key to ensuring that your roofing products are up to the mark is to ensure that your roofing material supplier is up to the mark. After all, the key to building a long-term relationship with your customers is continually providing the best products, and the key to that is to use good roofing materials.

So, how do you find a good supplier of roofing material? There can’t be any definite answer for that, but what we can answer is what to look for in a supplier to know that they are the right one.

Your Needs First

Factor in the promise you make to your customers. Count in factors like regional climate (which can differ from place to place, even drastically), norms of the Bureau of Indian Standards, building / residential rules or regulations of the regions you cater to, ecological certifications, etc.

If you cater to a wide range of customers, you will have to have a different set of considerations in selecting your suppliers.

Supplier Production Flow

You need to research how your potential supplier produces their material. Where do they source from? Do they have multiple quality checks in place? How stern or detailed are their quality checks? Do they factor in climate, longevity, and purpose of use? Check the pros and cons of each.

You need to find a good supplier, but more than that, you need to find a dependable supplier. For that, you need to do your quality checks.

Warranty or Guarantees

Warranties and guarantees show how much a supplier or company trusts their product. If they stand behind their product, you can probably think of working long-term with them. Check if they provide warranties or guarantees against weather damage, premature failures, etc.

Such things also give peace of mind.

Lab Tried and Tested

Self-checked are assurances given by the manufacturer, by lab-checked logos are a 100% win for anyone who pays attention to details. Labs have a thorough testing method and since they are a third party, you can have enough assurance that the testing is done without biases.

Search for lab-tested tags before going ahead with any supplier.

Reputation Triumphs Promise

Do a cross-check with their previous or current customers. Along with good quality, you need good service. A good company will always have satisfied customers. Do your research by having conversations about the company with their present customers. Do online checks as well on customer review websites.

Good quality paired with good customer service is a total win.

The above pointers cover all the things that you need to identify a good supplier of roofing material. Other things that you need to keep in mind are packaging, transportation costs, quotes, and after-sales service. Given that these materials can directly affect your customers, you need to keep yourself in your customers’ position before you make a decision.
