Did you know some roofing companies use both in-house and subcontractor teams to complete jobs. This means that at times you might not know exactly who is working on your home.

Today we’re diving into what makes in-house vs. subcontractor roofing teams different as well as which is the better option for your home renovation.

In-House vs. Subcontractor Roofing Teams

If you’re looking to get your roof done, you might want to know the team that is getting your roof fixed.

If you hire a roofing company that uses subcontractors to complete the job there is a possibility that you won’t know who’s completing the job. This, could end up in a job that might not meet your requirements.

When you hire a roofing company that uses in-house teams to complete the job, you can expect the very best. A team that can complete your roofing job from start to finish with all in-house employees can be reliable and typically offer better services and follow ups than subcontractors.

What Is a Subcontractor?

  • Does the work of another person or company
  • Not on payroll

A subcontractor is defined as a “contractor or business that signs a contract to perform all or part of the work on behalf of another company”. Simply put it’s someone doing the work for another individual or company.

What Is an In-House Team?

  • Works for the company
  • On the payroll

When we say “in-house team” we’re talking about teams like the one that we have at Roof Troopers. An in-house team is a team that is on the company payroll and is fully invested in the company that they’re doing the work for.

As a customer, you might find that in-house teams are slightly more consistent and more invested in the job that they’re doing. That’s because they have a long term career in mind when they come to work. In-house teams are just working job to job like subcontractors are.

Which One Is Better for You?

In the end, it probably doesn’t matter too much to you if it’s a subcontractor or an in-house team that completes the job. You can have a good experience with both in-house teams and subcontractors. If you are looking for reliability and consistent results, we recommend choosing an in-house team.

In our guide, “Questions to Ask a Roofing Contractor Before You Hire Them” we talk about the importance of being sure of who you’re hiring and who’s going to do the job.
