Before hiring a roofing contractor, check their licensing, experience, and certifications. The state you live in should require contractors to maintain their certifications annually. The licensing board in your state should be able to help you determine if a roofing contractor is properly licensed. If a contractor is licensed in your state, they should also provide a list of certified roofing manufacturers. Many roofing manufacturers require contractors to have special training, extensive experience, and due diligence to install their products.

Check their reputations. You can find out this by visiting the Better Business Bureau website. Accredited roofing companies have agreed to abide by BBB standards. Visit their website to view customer reviews and complaints. Look for a company with an A-rating and minimum number of complaints. You should also ask for references from previous customers. This information will be useful when choosing a roofing contractor. However, make sure to hire only those contractors with a good reputation and excellent references.

You can ask friends, family, and coworkers for referrals. Referrals from previous customers are often reliable, but you should still interview several potential roofing contractors to get a sense of the company's experience. Additionally, you should read online reviews to determine the company's reputation. Look for recent positive reviews to determine the company's reliability, service quality, and customer service. If a company does not have a website, you should also visit their social media accounts and check their reviews.
