Roofing FAQ’s for Oldsmar, Tampa, and surrounding FL, Residents

Residential Checklist: What to Ask Your Roofing Contractor

• A copy of current license
• A copy of workers’ compensation and liability insurance. Make sure you check the dates. Make sure it is a policy and not an exemption! Uninsured workers on your property become your liability.
• A list of employees that will be working on your project. Make sure it coincides with names on the workers’ compensation insurance.
• Do you use sub-contractors? If the answer is yes, make sure you get a copy of the subcontractors’ licenses and insurance. Any subcontractor doing roofing work in Florida must have a valid state roofing license.
• How long have you been in business?
• Do you have any complaints against you with the Licensing Board, PCCLB, or the BBB?
• Do your homework! Call the PCCLB at 727-582-3100. Go online and check the BBB website for complaints.

Questions to Ask about Warranties

• Does the manufacturer cover workmanship defects?
• If a leak develops in my new roof after 6 years, who do I call?
• If the leak is determined to be a workmanship defect, does the manufacturer cover the cost of labor to fix?
