How to hire a roofing pro in United States
- Verify the state contractor license where required (Florida and California have specific roofing classifications; requirements vary widely by state)
- Demand certificates of general liability and workers' comp insurance — roofing is a high-injury trade and uninsured crews are your risk
- Get 3 like-for-like bids covering tear-off, underlayment, ice-and-water shield, flashing replacement and a per-sheet price for deck repair
- Check manufacturer certifications (e.g. GAF or Owens Corning credentialed installers) — they unlock longer material warranties
- Confirm the contractor pulls the building permit, not you
- For insurance claims, get your own adjuster's assessment before signing any assignment-of-benefits paperwork
- Get both the manufacturer warranty and a written workmanship warranty (5-10 years)
Roofing licenses are set at state level — some states (Florida, California) require a dedicated roofing classification while others have no licensing at all. Workers' comp verification matters everywhere: roofing has among the highest injury rates of any trade, and homeowners can be exposed by uninsured crews.

Frequently asked questions
Is moss on a roof actually a problem?
Yes, over time — moss holds moisture against the surface, lifts tile and shingle edges, and accelerates frost damage. Have it removed by soft washing or manual scraping, never high-pressure washing, which strips granules and forces water under the covering. Zinc or copper strips slow regrowth.
How much does a new roof cost?
It scales with roof area, pitch, number of storeys, access, and material. Basic asphalt shingle or concrete tile sits at the bottom of the range; metal, slate and clay cost two to four times more. Tear-off of the old covering, disposal, scaffolding or edge protection, and hidden deck repairs are the lines that move a quote most — make sure all four are priced before comparing.
Will insurance pay for my roof?
Policies generally cover sudden storm damage (wind, hail, fallen trees) but not gradual wear and age. Document damage with dated photos immediately, get an independent assessment before signing anything a door-knocking contractor puts in front of you, and check whether your policy pays replacement cost or depreciated value on older roofs.
Do I need a permit for roof work?
Full replacements commonly require a building permit or regulatory compliance; small like-for-like repairs usually don't. Rules vary by country and municipality, and a legitimate contractor will know and handle the paperwork — treat 'we don't need a permit' on a full reroof as a flag to double-check.
How much deposit should a roofer ask for?
Typically 10-30%, or enough to cover ordered materials, with the balance staged against progress and completion. Never pay in full upfront, and be wary of anyone who can start 'tomorrow' if you pay cash today — good roofers have lead times.
How much does a roof replacement cost in the US?
Most homeowners pay $9,000-$18,000 for a standard asphalt shingle replacement, with the full range running roughly $6,000 to $30,000+ depending on size, pitch and region. Metal roofs typically run $15,000-$45,000. Per-square (100 sq ft) pricing of $450-$1,100 installed is the common quoting unit.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?
For sudden storm damage, usually yes — but many insurers now pay only depreciated actual-cash-value on roofs past 10-15 years old, not full replacement cost. Check your policy's roof schedule, document damage immediately, and be cautious with contractors who want to 'handle the claim for you.'
