Verify the roofing company has proper Florida state and local business licenses. Make sure the contractor has proper insurance coverage; workman's compensation and general liability. A trusted roofing company that does high-quality work will also have a major manufacturer supporting them.

You don't always need a general contractor in Florida to replace your roof, but you need someone with a specific license for roofing work. While a general contractor may be able to do some minor repairs, they may not be skilled roofers. They may need to subcontract a licensed roofing professional to complete the task.
