At Pit Crew Roofing®, we’ve spent decades in the industry and know firsthand how important it is to hire a trustworthy contractor. Whether you’re hiring a roofing contractor, HVAC tech, or plumber, it’s essential to verify that they’re truly qualified — and that they’ve been doing quality work for a long time. That’s why we always encourage homeowners to dig a little deeper before signing a contract. Here’s how you can verify a roofing company or contractor in your area.
1. Use Official License Lookup Tools
Most states and regions offer online tools where you can look up professional licenses by company name, owner, or license number. These tools will show if a roofing contractor is properly licensed, how long they’ve held their license, and whether there are any red flags. Simply search for your state’s contractor license lookup portal and start your research there.
2. Check Business Registration History
Beyond licensing, it’s also smart to verify how long a roofing company has been in business. Most states maintain business registries that let you see when a company was formed and who owns it. This is a great way to confirm a contractor’s track record and ensure you’re not hiring someone who just started under a new name.
3. Cross-Check for Consistency
We recommend comparing information across different sources, like license records and business registries, to make sure everything lines up. A legitimately licensed roofer will show consistency in their name, ownership, and licensing status. Any inconsistencies could be cause for concern.
4. Ask for Proof Up Front
We never hesitate to share our license number with customers, and no reputable roofing contractor should. If a contractor can’t or won’t provide their license info, that’s a red flag. Professionalism starts with transparency.
