About Platform Construction & Roofing
Who We Are
Platform Construction & Roofing is a local Dallas Fort Worth company, family owned and operated, that originated to fulfill a two-fold vision:
1. Platform’s name comes from the desire of the founders to provide a “platform” for young men and women to develop business, sales, leadership and entrepreneurship skills. These skills are meant to give them a launch pad for their future in ministry positions here in the country and/or abroad. This also ties in with Platform’s founders’ support of ministries around the world.
2. Platform strives to set a high “platform” of standard in the roofing industry. As dedicated as we are to the personal growth of our team members, we are just as dedicated to mastering our craft so as to always provide the utmost quality, service, integrity, reliability and knowledge to our clients. (Proverbs 14:23)

You'll always want to ask how long the company has been in business in Arlington. While this isn't a guarantee that the company will do good work, companies with longevity on their side must be doing something right. That being said, there are newer companies that do great work. If the company is under three years old, ask where the owner was employed before and for how long. If he/she has a long history of employment, it's reasonable to infer that he or she decided to go into business for themselves after so many years of experience.
You'll certainly want to ask them this. Steer clear of any company that is not insured in Texas, because that means that any incidental damage they may do on your property will be a real hassle to recover compensation for. It is never wise to work with uninsured tradesmen of any kind. Most states also require that someone have insurance in order to be issued a trade license. If they say they're licensed but not insured, they're being less than truthful.
This really only matters if you have a preference, but it is good to ask. If you have a strong ideological belief about unions or nonunions, it's perfectly acceptable to make a decision based on the preference.
The question is great for some industries and non-applicable for others. A general contractor, for example, will by definition employ subcontractors. Most Arlington Roofing companies do not, but there are exceptions. You should always ask this question to your service providers. If they do use subcontractors, ask if they're all licensed and insured independently.
Many jobs in Texas will require municipal permits in order to be approved by the town's inspector. It's always good to ask who will be responsible for pulling those permits, and if you'll be expected to do it. You'll almost never be told to pull your own, but knowing that Arlington Roofing permits are required makes you appear to be a well informed customer.
