Why Should You Choose a BBB Accredited Commercial Roofing Contractor?

If you’re responsible for maintaining or managing a commercial building, you’ve likely faced this question before: “How can I be sure I’m hiring a trustworthy commercial roofing contractor?” With so many companies claiming to be the best, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. One way to cut through the noise? Look for the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Accredited Business Seal. 

At Weather Shield Roofing Systems, we’ve been helping businesses for over 40 years. We’re proud to be a BBB Accredited Business. But why does that matter to you? 

Let’s break it down simply, clearly, and with your peace of mind in focus. 

What Does It Mean To Be BBB Accredited? 

The BBB Accreditation Seal is more than just a sticker on a website or service truck. It’s a trusted sign that a business is committed to ethical practices, honest communication, and customer satisfaction. Since 1912, the Better Business Bureau has worked to build trust between businesses and consumers through high standards. They also hold these companies to their standards. 

When you’re choosing a commercial roofing contractor, working with a BBB Accredited Business can help you avoid costly mistakes. Or shoddy workmanship!

How Does BBB Accreditation Help You Make a Better Roofing Choice? 

1. Will They Follow Ethical Business Practices?

This is the number one concern we hear from property managers and building owners. You don’t want surprises, especially when it comes to something as critical as your commercial roof. 

BBB Accredited Businesses commit to the 8 Standards for Trust, which include honesty, transparency, and safeguarding privacy. At Weather Shield Roofing Systems, that means no gimmicks, no hidden fees, and no cutting corners. 

2. Are They an Established Business—or Just Getting Started?

To be BBB accredited, a company has to be in business for at least six months. That might not seem like much, but it helps weed out the pop-up contractors who disappear after storm season. 

With over four decades of experience, Weather Shield has built a track record you can verify. We’re not just passing a BBB requirement—we’re exceeding it every day in the field. 

3. Are They Licensed, Bonded, and Insured?

Hiring a roofing contractor that isn’t properly licensed or insured puts your building, budget, and reputation at risk. BBB Accreditation requires proof that a business meets the competency requirements for their industry and location. 

Our team at Weather Shield is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. You’re not just getting a crew—you’re getting protection. That’s essential for commercial roofing jobs where safety, compliance, and accountability matter. 

4. What Happens If Something Goes Wrong?

Even with the best contractors, miscommunications or issues can occasionally come up. But here’s where BBB Accreditation shines—timely complaint resolution is a core requirement. 

We stand behind our work and always aim to make things right quickly. The BBB provides a trusted channel for resolving disputes, and as an accredited business, we take that commitment seriously. 

5. Will They Stick to the Agreement?

Let’s face it—no one wants to chase down a contractor or argue over what was promised. BBB Accredited Businesses are expected to follow through on contracts and agreements.

At Weather Shield, we believe in doing what we say we’re going to do. That’s part of how we’ve earned long-term trust with commercial clients who keep coming back for roof inspections, emergency roof repairs, and full roof replacements. 

6. Is It Safe to Interact With Them Online?

In today’s world, your first interaction with a roofing company often happens online. BBB Accreditation includes a commitment to secure online transactions and privacy policies, so you can feel confident your information is safe when you reach out. 

Our website is built to be secure and transparent, so whether you’re scheduling a roof inspection or requesting a quote, your information is protected. 

Why Trust Matters More in Commercial Roofing 

Commercial roofs are major investments. Whether you’re dealing with roof leaks, planning a preventive maintenance program, or needing emergency roof repair after a storm, you need a partner who shows up, communicates clearly, and honors their word. 

BBB Accreditation doesn’t guarantee perfection—but it does guarantee a minimum level of professionalism and accountability that many non-accredited contractors can’t offer. When you combine that with decades of experience and a local reputation like Weather Shield’s, you’re stacking the deck in your favor. 

What Does the BBB Seal Actually Do For You? 

Think of the BBB Seal as a shortcut for trust. Instead of spending hours researching reviews, checking licenses, or worrying if a contractor will disappear mid-job, you can rely on the BBB’s vetting process. Nearly 400,000 businesses across the U.S. and Canada proudly display the BBB Seal for a reason—it tells customers, “We take trust seriously.” 

So when you see that seal on our trucks, proposals, or website, know that it represents a deeper promise: to put your needs first, to handle every job with integrity, and to make sure your commercial roofing investment is protected for the long haul. 

Whether you’re managing a single commercial property or an entire portfolio, your roof is one of the most valuable assets you have. Working with a BBB Accredited contractor like Weather Shield Roofing Systems is one of the simplest ways to ensure you’re working with professionals who value your trust, your time, and your business.
