Credentials
How Do I Verify a Roofing Contractor in Florida?
Don't take any roofer's word for it, including ours. These checks take a few minutes and protect you from unlicensed or uninsured work.
- 1
Check the Florida license
Search the contractor's name or license number on the official DBPR license search and confirm it is active.
- 2
Ask for proof of insurance
Ask for a certificate of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, sent directly by the insurance agent.
- 3
Confirm the permit
A roof replacement needs a permit. Make sure the contractor pulls it and that it appears on your city or county permit records.
- 4
Verify manufacturer credentials
If a roofer claims a manufacturer certification, check it on the manufacturer's own contractor directory.
- 5
Get the warranty in writing
Ask for the workmanship warranty and the manufacturer warranty terms in writing before you sign.

Warranties
Understand Your Roof Warranty
Manufacturer warranty
Issued by the company that makes the roofing products. It typically covers defects in the materials themselves. Enhanced or system warranties may require a specific set of matched components and an eligible installer.
Workmanship warranty
Provided by the roofing contractor. It covers problems caused by how the roof was installed, such as flashing or fastening errors. Its length and terms vary widely between contractors, so ask for it in writing.
Ask for the workmanship warranty terms in writing with your estimate, before you sign.
Typically covered
- Manufacturing defects in qualifying roofing materials
- Installation-related leaks within the workmanship warranty terms
- Repairs or replacement as defined in each warranty document
Often not covered
- Damage from storms, falling trees or other events usually handled by insurance
- Problems caused by later work from other trades, such as solar or HVAC installers
- Lack of reasonable maintenance, as defined by the warranty
- Cosmetic changes like normal weathering or color fading, depending on terms
Every warranty is different. Before you sign, ask for copies of both the manufacturer and workmanship warranties, check whether registration is required, and confirm whether coverage transfers if you sell your home.
FAQs
Questions About Roof Replacement Sarasota
How do I check a roofer's license and insurance?
Before you sign, ask for the Florida license number and certificates of insurance of the contractor who will do your work, and check the license on the official DBPR license search. We recommend doing this with any roofer you consider.
Who writes the information on this website?
The Roof Replacement Sarasota team writes and reviews every page. Each page shows when it was last reviewed and links to the official sources it relies on, such as the Florida Building Commission and the DBPR.
What is the difference between a roofing contractor and a handyman?
In Florida, roofing work generally requires a state-licensed roofing or general contractor and a building permit. A handyman without that license typically can't legally re-roof a home, so always confirm the license before work starts.
