What to check when hiring roofers in the United States

MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.

  • Never agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note. That is the classic roofing scam.
  • Get a written quote that itemizes access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee, not a vague day rate.
  • Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed.
  • Contractor licensing in the US is set by each state (and sometimes the city or county). For electrical, plumbing, HVAC or any major build, confirm the trade is licensed on your state's licensing board before hiring. Unlicensed work where a license is required can void permits and insurance and leave you no recourse.
  • Ask for a lien waiver as you pay each stage: in most US states an unpaid contractor or subcontractor can place a mechanic's lien on your home even if you already paid the main contractor, and a signed waiver is your protection.

How to judge a roofer

Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.

Verify before you hire

  • Roofing licensing varies by state. Some (such as Florida and California, CSLB C-39) require a roofing or contractor license; Texas requires none at all; there, look for the voluntary RCAT license (the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas runs the state's only roofing license exam). Verify the license where your state requires one, and confirm a local business address.
  • Insist on general liability AND workers' compensation insurance: roofing is high-injury, and without workers' comp you can be liable for a fall on your property. Ask for current certificates.
  • Manufacturer certifications (GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Preferred, CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster) are independently vetted and unlock longer system warranties. Verify on the manufacturer's site.
  • A public permit record is hard evidence of real, inspected local work. Where the city publishes permits (Austin, for example), check the roofer's permit history and how recent it is.
  • Get a written scope with the shingle brand, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and tear-off vs. overlay spelled out.

Warning signs of a rogue contractor

  • An out-of-town 'storm chaser' crew knocking door-to-door after a hailstorm, with out-of-state plates and no local address.
  • Pressure to sign an insurance assignment-of-benefits (AOB) or contingency contract on the spot before your own claim is settled.
  • Asks for full payment or a large deposit up front, or offers to 'waive your deductible', which is insurance fraud (in Texas it is explicitly illegal).
  • No proof of workers' compensation, or a price far below every other bid.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Are you licensed where required, and can I see current liability and workers' comp certificates?
  • Are you a certified installer for the shingle brand, and what manufacturer warranty does that provide?
  • Do you have a local address and recent local references I can call?
  • Will you pull the permit, and is tear-off, flashing, and ventilation included in the written price?

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a trustworthy roofer?
Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A roofer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend roofers for payment?
No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Roofers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
Where do the reviews come from?
They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
What should I check before hiring a roofer?
Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the roofer, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
