How to choose the best roofing contractor
The cheapest bid is often the most expensive lesson. Use this checklist before you sign anything.
- Verify license and insurance — liability and workers’ comp, current for your state.
- Ask for recent local jobs with the same material you’re considering.
- Compare written scopes — tear-off, decking, underlayment, flashing, ventilation — not just a lump sum.
- Understand the warranty — manufacturer vs workmanship, and who stands behind each.
- Beware storm-chaser pressure — a pro can wait for you to sleep on it.
Repair vs replace
Age, leak pattern, decking condition, and storm damage decide more than a sales pitch. A trustworthy contractor shows photos and options — and won’t rush you into a full tear-off without evidence.
Materials & warranties worth asking about
- Underlayment and ventilation — as important as the shingles you see from the curb.
- Manufacturer vs workmanship warranty — who pays if the install fails, and for how long.
- Insurance documentation — photos, line-item scopes, and claim-friendly paperwork matter after storms.
