Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Roofing Contractor

Use these questions to compare roofing estimates and choose a contractor with confidence.

Ask about scope

Your estimate should explain tear-off, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, cleanup, and warranty details.

Ask about insurance and licensing

Confirm the contractor is properly licensed and insured for your area and project type.

Ask how cleanup is handled

A professional roofing crew should protect landscaping and perform a magnetic nail sweep at the end of the job.
