Find roofers near you.

Start with a few roofers who serve your address and have experience with your roof type. Read recent reviews for similar jobs, ask for local references and compare written estimates for the same scope. A five-star rating is one useful signal; it doesn’t verify licensing, insurance or workmanship. Work through our hiring checklist.

Ask who will supervise the crew, how they’ll protect your property and who handles permits and cleanup. Have them explain which materials are included, how hidden damage would be priced, the payment schedule and what the workmanship warranty covers. Get those answers in the written estimate or contract. See what to look for in an estimate.

Ask for the company’s legal name and license number, then check the official state or local licensing authority. Confirm that the name, status and work classification match the company and your project. Request current proof of insurance and verify it with the insurer or agent. Requirements vary by location. Find the licensing lookup for your state.
