Orlando Roofing Contractors
Orlando home owners are all too familiar with all the horror stories of home owners who have been ripped off from roofing scams, rip offs, fraudulent, unqualified and unlicensed roofing contractors. Some require lots of money up front and disappear. Some do inferior work that leaves you with a bad roof and exposes your home to major damage. Some don’t pay their sub contractors or suppliers which you don’t find out about until the threats of liens and judgments start arriving at your door.
There are plenty of good Orlando roofing contractors with strong track records of successfully repairing or replacing hundreds of Orlando roofs.
Here are three simple tips you can use to make sure you choose an Orlando roofing contractor you’ll be satisfied with.
- Ask for their license number. Most reputable roofing contractors put their State Of Florida license number on their vehicles and or in their advertising. Verify their license at www.MyFloridaLicense.com. This site is provided by Florida’s Department Of Business and Professional Regulation. You will also be able to see how long the roofing contractor has been in business and review any formal complaints or disciplinary action that has been made against them.
- Contact the Orlando Chamber of Commerce & Better Business Bureau to see what the contractor’s track record is.
- Ask for three customers who you can contact for references. Preferably get a mix of recent customers and some that are a year or more old to provide balanced input. Ask the customer if they were satisfied with their roofing job, if they’ve had any problems with their roof, and if they would use the same contractor again.
These tips can help you avoid headaches and regrets and have a positive experience with your next roof installation
