Choosing the right roofing company is one of the most important decisions a homeowner can make. Whether you need a minor roofing repair or a full roofing replacement, the contractor you select will directly affect the quality, durability, and overall value of your investment. Unfortunately, many homeowners make the mistake of hiring the first roofer they find without asking critical questions. To avoid unnecessary stress and costly mistakes, here are the key questions you should always ask your roofer before signing any agreement.
One of the first things you should confirm is whether your roofing company is properly licensed and insured. A valid license shows that the contractor has met state and local requirements to perform roofing work. Insurance is just as important—it protects both you and the workers in case of accidents, injuries, or property damage during the project. Never work with roofers who cannot provide proof of both.
Not all roofing companies have the same level of experience. Some specialize in quick roofing repairs, while others focus on complete roofing replacements. Asking about their expertise will help you determine whether they have the right skills for your project. A reputable roofing company should also be able to provide examples of past work or references from satisfied clients.
Roofing materials can vary greatly in terms of cost, appearance, and durability. From asphalt shingles to metal and tile, each option has its pros and cons. An experienced roofer should be able to explain the benefits of different materials and recommend the best choice based on your budget, climate, and long-term goals. This ensures you make an informed decision rather than just going with the cheapest option.
A professional roofing company should always provide a written estimate that details labor, materials, timelines, and any additional costs. This protects you from surprise charges later on. Verbal promises are not enough; having everything in writing gives you peace of mind and clarity about what to expect.
It’s important to know who will actually be doing the work on your home. Will the roofing company’s employees handle the job, or will subcontractors be involved? If subcontractors are used, you’ll want to ensure they are properly qualified and insured. Clear communication about who will be on-site helps avoid confusion during the roofing repair or replacement process.
Ask your roofer how long the project is expected to take. While unexpected weather conditions or supply delays can affect timelines, an experienced roofing company should be able to provide you with a realistic schedule. Understanding the timeframe allows you to plan ahead and avoid unnecessary disruptions.
Warranties can vary depending on the roofing company and the materials used. Some warranties cover materials only, while others include workmanship. Make sure you understand exactly what is covered and for how long. A strong warranty not only gives you confidence in the roofer’s work but also protects your investment for years to come.

My wife and I just bought a house and noticed that the roof needed to be fixed. Everyone that I talked to recommended this company and now I can see why. Mike is super friendly, quick to respond, and the quality of work is amazing! He and his team came out, quoted us, and had the new roof on within the week. We are very pleased with him and recommend them to anyone with roofing needs!
I highly recommend Milledge Roofing and can't say enough about how professional, knowledgeable and caring they are. Bret and Mike went above and beyond to make sure my family will stay safe. They fixed what needed to be fixed and didn't try to sell me on anything and have proven to be a very trustworthy company.
They did a great job on our roof and the process was painless. Seth cash was very polite and helpful while helping me deal with my insurance claim and was always quick to respond when I had any questions. The roofers did a perfect job and there was no trash left or any damage to my plants. I would highly recommend them!
