Hiring a roofing contractor isn’t just about picking the first name you see online—it’s about finding a professional who is trustworthy, experienced, and the right fit for your home’s needs. Asking the right questions can save you from headaches, unexpected costs, and poor workmanship.

Here are the top questions you should ask before signing any contract:

1. Are You Licensed and Insured?

A reliable roofing contractor should have a valid license and comprehensive insurance coverage. This protects you from liability in case of accidents or damages during the project. Always request proof before starting.

2. What Experience Do You Have With My Type of Roof?

Different roofing materials require different expertise. Whether you have asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or tile, your contractor should have proven experience working with that material.

3. Can You Provide References or Portfolio of Past Work?

A reputable roofer should proudly showcase their previous projects and connect you with past clients. This helps you verify their quality of work and reliability.

4. What is Included in the Written Estimate?

Ask for a detailed, itemized estimate that includes labor, materials, cleanup, and warranties. This ensures there are no hidden costs down the road.

5. What Warranties Do You Offer?

Strong warranties on both materials and workmanship are a sign that the contractor stands behind their work. Make sure you understand the terms before you agree.

6. How Will You Protect My Property During the Job?

Roofing work can be messy. A good contractor will have a clear plan for protecting your landscaping, driveway, and home exterior during the installation process.

7. What is the Project Timeline?

A realistic timeline sets expectations and helps you prepare for any temporary disruptions. Always ask for a clear start and completion date.
