Choosing a Reliable Roofing Contractor in Southwest Florida

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.

Verify the license

Get the Florida roofing contractor license number and verify it with the state. A business card, a truck wrap and a website prove nothing.

Check who pulls the permit

The contractor should pull it in their own name. Being asked to pull an owner-builder permit is a signal to stop.

Read the scope, not the total

Two quotes differ mostly in what they include: deck repair terms, underlayment specification, new versus reused flashing, permit and final inspection.

Watch the deposit

Be cautious about large deposits before materials are ordered or a permit is issued.
