Choosing the right roofing contractor can mean the difference between a roof that lasts 30 years and one that fails in 10.

What to Look For

• Proper state licensing

• General liability insurance

• Workers’ compensation coverage

• Local experience

• Written warranties

• Code compliance knowledge

Red Flags

• Door-to-door pressure tactics

• Extremely low bids

• No written scope of work

• Lack of insurance documentation

Why It Matters

Improper installation is one of the leading causes of early roof failure.

Bottom Line

The cheapest bid is rarely the best long-term investment.
