Southwest Florida gets a wave of out-of-area roofing crews after every major storm. Separating them from established local contractors comes down to a few checks.
Get the Florida roofing contractor license number and verify it with the state. A business card, a truck wrap and a website prove nothing.
The contractor should pull it in their own name. Being asked to pull an owner-builder permit is a signal to stop.
Two quotes differ mostly in what they include: deck repair terms, underlayment specification, new versus reused flashing, permit and final inspection.
Be cautious about large deposits before materials are ordered or a permit is issued.
