Can They Handle the Heat? – What to Look for When Choosing a Roofing Contractor in Florida 

It may seem like everywhere you look in Florida, especially after a big storm, you see a roofing company truck. If you’re in need of a roofing inspection, repair or replacement, it may seem overwhelming to choose the best roofing contractor for you. But, when it comes to roofing, especially in Florida, you want someone who can handle the heat—literally! So, what are the qualities and credentials you should look for when choosing a roofing contractor to ensure quality workmanship and exceptional service? Let’s take a look:


1. Licensed and Insured

  • If things go south (like your roof), you want to ensure your contractor isn’t working undercover, in order to cover yourself from liabilities.  


2. Local Experience

  • Look for someone who knows Florida’s weather patterns and regulations – think familiarity with storms, hail, and hurricanes – to better prepare your roof to withstand the elements. 


3. Trustworthy References

  • Ask for references, research your options, and check reviews. Reach out to your neighbors and listen to the pros and cons and do’s and don’ts. First-hand experience knows best.


4. Detailed Estimates

  • Request detailed estimates that break down costs. Don’t accept a number without an explanation. Transparency will clear the air. 


5. Warranty and Guarantees

  • A solid warranty on both materials and workmanship can go a long way to giving you peace of mind. If something goes wrong, you won’t be left in a hole when the next storm rolls in. 


6. Timeliness and Communication

  • A reliable contractor should communicate effectively and respect deadlines. “Beach time” is nice and all, but not when it comes to getting things done. 


7. Test Their Knowledge

  • Ask about various materials and what is best for Florida’s climate and your home in particular.  From shingles to tiles to metal to solar, they should know what works best to keep your home safe and cool.
