Why Verify Licensing and Insurance?
Licensed and insured roofing companies have met specific requirements set by the state or local government. Licensing ensures that the company has the necessary expertise and qualifications to perform roofing work. Insurance protects you from liability in case of accidents or damage during the project.
Steps to Check Licensing and Insurance
1. Contact the roofing company: Start by requesting their license and insurance information. 2. Verify the license: Check with the appropriate licensing board to confirm the validity of the license. 3. Review insurance coverage: Ask for a copy of the insurance certificate and verify the coverage details. 4. Check for complaints: Look up the company online or contact the Better Business Bureau to check for any complaints or legal issues. 5. Ask for references: Request references from past clients to gauge the company's reputation.
