This guide walks through the best questions for roofing contractor interview conversations, covering licensing and insurance, how a contractor diagnoses damage before quoting price, material and Florida code specifics, what a written estimate should include, workmanship versus manufacturer warranties, and how a company handles storm damage and insurance claims. It also explains what to expect on project day and the warning signs, like vague answers or pressure to sign immediately, that suggest a contractor isn't being straight with you.

It covers what to do the moment you find a leak, how documentation affects your claim, why your deductible matters, and how an honest roof inspection gives you facts instead of promises an insurer hasn't reviewed yet.
