10 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Roofing Contractor

Hiring the right roofing contractor is just as important as choosing the right roofing material. The quality of the installation can make or break your investment. Unfortunately, not all contractors are created equal — and a cheap bid can sometimes cost you more in the long run.

Before you sign any contract, ask these 10 questions to make sure you’re hiring a reputable, experienced professional:

  1. Are you licensed and insured in Wisconsin and Illinois?
    This protects you if something goes wrong. Always ask for proof.
  2. Do you carry workers’ comp and liability insurance?
    You don’t want to be held responsible for injuries or property damage.
  3. Can you provide local references?
    Ask for recent jobs in the Janesville or Rockford area. Then follow up.
  4. What’s your process for written estimates and contracts?
    A clear, itemized quote helps prevent hidden costs.
  5. Do you offer warranties on both materials and labor?
    Manufacturer warranties are one thing. But will your roofer stand behind their work?
  6. Who will be on-site managing the job?
    Will it be a subcontractor or a team the contractor knows and trusts?
  7. What’s your clean-up process?
    A quality contractor leaves your property looking better, not worse.
  8. How do you handle bad weather or delays?
    Wisconsin weather is unpredictable. What’s the plan if it rains?
  9. What are your payment terms?
    Be cautious of anyone asking for full payment upfront.
  10. How long have you been in business locally?
    Experience matters — and so does a track record in your community.
