Key Takeaways
1. A roofing contractor is your ally and guide.
2. It’s your right to ensure you’re getting the best work possible.
3. Ask about everything from licenses and certifications to warranties on materials and processes.
A roofing contractor is more than just a guide through the process—they're your partner because you both share the same goal: a safe and secure home. We encourage you to view them not as an outsider, but as an ally who will help you achieve that goal.
You should feel comfortable and confident in the person you’re entrusting with your home’s safety. To help with that, here are four essential roofing questions to ask.

- First Question to Ask a Roofing Company: Licensing and Insurance
Safety is serious business and should be treated as such. It's crucial to make sure the work you receive is certified and insured. This guarantees you'll get quality work and the results you expect.

- Second Roofing Question: References and Reviews
It’s important to know the background of the people you’re going to work with. A reputable contractor should provide examples of completed projects and client testimonials. This helps you gauge their reliability and craftsmanship. Experience isn’t something that can be improvised—having a history in the industry and satisfied customers who can vouch for their work is another way to ensure they’ll deliver on their promises.

- Things to Ask When Getting Roofing Quotes: Materials and Labor
After confirming they have the proper licensing and experience, it’s time to ask about warranties—are they for five years, 10 years, or even a lifetime? The warranty reflects the quality of the materials used and the workmanship. If necessary, ask them to explain everything they'll be using and the process they’ll follow so you can compare this information.
- Last Questions to Ask Your Roofing Contractor: Project Timeline and Payment Schedule
Make sure to clarify the start and completion dates, as well as the payment structure, to avoid any misunderstandings. Addressing these questions will help ensure a smooth and satisfactory roofing project.
