How to pick a roofer you won't regret

By the Ortiz Roofing team · Updated 2026-11-10

Quick answer: Hire a licensed, insured, local roofer who pulls permits, puts the scope and price in writing, and doesn't ask for a huge payment before materials arrive. Check the license yourself on the state's lookup.

Check the license

Florida roofers need a state license. Ours is CCC1334839.

Ask about insurance

Get it in writing

  • Cleanup

Red flags
