What Questions Should I Ask a Roofing Contractor Before Replacing My Roof?
Before signing a roofing contract, confirm licensing and insurance, the exact system and underlayment, how decking is priced, permitting, and warranty terms. The questions that matter.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you compare roofing proposals from different contractors?
Compare proposals on identical scope, not on the bottom-line number — because roofing bids are only comparable when they describe the same work. Line them up field by field: roofing material and manufacturer; underlayment or membrane specification; flashing scope (new versus reused); how decking replacement is priced; tear-off, disposal and site protection; ventilation; permitting and inspections; warranty coverage and duration (manufacturer and workmanship separately); and payment terms. Confirm each contractor's Florida license and insurance. A lower bid that specifies a thinner underlayment, reuses old flashings, or omits a decking allowance is not cheaper — it is a different, lesser roof at a lower price, and the difference tends to surface as leaks or surprise costs later. The most useful question to ask about the lowest bid is what it leaves out. Craft Roofing (Florida Certified General & Roofing Contractor, CGC1540219 & CCC1336696) provides written, itemized proposals that make honest comparison possible, throughout Naples and Southwest Florida.
