Hurricanes, tropical storms, and intense sunlight pose significant challenges to your home's most crucial defense. Unfortunately, not all roofing contractors are equally equipped to weather these storms. To protect yourself look for these top 5 signs of a bad roofing contractor.

Five Warning Signals of a Subpar Roofing Contractor

  1. Local Knowledge & Experience: A true South Florida roofing expert can showcase a portfolio of local projects tailored to your specific needs. They should possess an intimate understanding of regional building codes and the ideal materials for our unique climate. To ensure a seamless experience, request to see before-and-after photos, video testimonials, or direct contact information for previous clients.
  2. Online Reviews: Online reviews offer a window into a contractor's reputation. Pay close attention to feedback from fellow South Floridians. Negative experiences related to hurricane damage or post-storm repairs should raise red flags.
  3. Missing Credentials: Florida mandates specific licensing for roofing contractors. A fully licensed and insured professional prioritizes your protection. Our blog, "Verify Your Roofing Contractor," provides step-by-step guidance.
  4. Unreasonably Low Bids: While cost-effectiveness is essential, excessively low quotes often signal subpar materials, inexperienced labor, or hidden fees. Choose a contractor who prioritizes safety and quality over price.
  5. Stagnant Progress: A skilled roofing crew demonstrates visible progress daily. If workers are on your roof without tangible advancements, it might indicate a lack of expertise or project mismanagement.
