How to pick a South Florida roofing company you won't regret.

The five-minute vetting checklist

• Verify the license — look up the company at MyFloridaLicense.com. You want a state-certified roofing contractor (CCC number). Ours is CCC1335181 — check it, please.
• Demand insurance certificates — general liability AND workers' comp, issued from the insurer to you. No comp means a fall on your roof becomes your claim.
• Check permit history — your city's permit portal shows whether they pull permits and pass inspections. A roofer who works unpermitted is pricing you for a problem.
• Read reviews for patterns — one angry review means nothing; repeated 'stopped answering after deposit' means everything.
• Meet the person responsible — ask who supervises your job and whether crews are employees or subs.

Red flags that end the conversation

• Big deposit before permit submission
• "We'll cover your deductible" — that's insurance fraud, and you're the co-signer
• Storm-chaser knocks with an out-of-county plate and a today-only price
• Quote is one number on a business card — no scope, no materials, no NOA references

What a professional quote looks like

Written scope by roof section, named materials with product approvals, permit and inspection handling, deck-rot allowance priced per sheet, payment schedule tied to milestones, and a workmanship warranty in writing.
