Top 5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Roofing Contractor

Don’t Hire a Roofer Without Asking These First

Choosing the right roofing contractor is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a homeowner. Whether it’s a full replacement or a small repair, not all roofers are created equal.

Here are the top 5 questions you should ask — and the answers you should expect.

1. Are You Licensed and Insured in Florida?

Required Answer: “Yes — and here’s our license number.”

A roofing contractor in Florida must be state-certified and carry general liability and workers’ comp insurance. If they can’t show proof, don’t let them on your roof.

At Roofing Exterior Innovations, our license number is CCC1334857, and we’re happy to provide all insurance documentation before starting.

2. Will You Be On-Site During the Job?

Best Answer: “Yes — we’ll be there every day.”

Some companies subcontract everything and never show up again after you sign the contract. We believe in being present — not just sending crews.

We’re on-site daily, taking photos, managing quality, and staying in touch so you always know what’s happening on your roof.

3. Do You Provide Photos and Documentation?

Expected Answer: “Yes — before, during, and after.”

You should never be left guessing whether your roof was done right. We document every stage of the job with 80–100 photos, pass inspection reports, and even provide a copy of your permit so you know it was done legally and correctly.

4. What Happens If You Find Bad Wood?

Trustworthy Answer: “We’ll send photos and get your approval before replacing anything.”

No one likes surprise charges — but ignoring rotted wood leads to roof failure. We include 2 sheets of plywood in most proposals, and if more is needed, we walk you through it with clear photos and pricing.

5. Do You Offer a Workmanship Warranty?

Right Answer: “Yes — in writing.”

A manufacturer warranty only covers materials. A workmanship warranty guarantees the installation. We provide a full 10-year workmanship warranty because we stand behind our work — and we’ll still be here if you need us.
