With our Tropical climate, most of us will need a good roof contractor.




Make sure to do your homework and research when hiring the best South Florida Roofing Contractor for your home or commercial property.

There are numerous ways to find out about legitimate, quality, licensed roofing contractors in your area.


-Check with the Better Business Bureau. The Better Business Bureau says 75% of companies go out of business in their first 5 years and 95% in their first 10 years.

-Make sure the South Florida Roofing Contractor is licensed. In Florida, you can check for licensing of Roofing Contractors by going to www.myfloridalicense.com, then click on verify license.

-Many roofing companies operate as a workers compensation exempt company. You should review the proof of insurance provided by any prospective contractor prior to awarding a contract.

-To ensure that a contractor is properly insured, property owners can verify proper coverage by finding the name of the contractor’s business in the top left portion of an insurance certificate.

-Check what types of warranties the roofing company offers.

-When getting estimates, don't always accept the lowest bid. You know what they say, “you get what you pay for”.

-Check to see how long the roofing company has been in business.


-Ask your friends, family, co-workers for referrals. Word of mouth is the best source. You can find out true, honest facts and opinions about a company this way from people you know and trust who've dealt with them one on one.

These are just some quick tips on what to look for when you need to hire a roofing company for your repair and re-roof needs.
