How to check a license in Florida

  1. Search by the contractor's name, license number, or county.[1]
  2. Check whether the number starts with CCC, meaning certified and good statewide, or RC, meaning registered and limited to a specific local jurisdiction.[2]
  3. If the contractor is a general, building, or residential license holder certified after 1973, confirm they also carry a separate roofing certification or registration.[3]
  4. In Miami-Dade or Broward County, ask what the county's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone retrofit and permit rules require for your specific roof type.[4]

Warning signs

  • A flyer, text, or email that pushes you to file a roof damage insurance claim before you've asked anyone to look at your roof.[5]
  • An offer to waive your deductible or hand you a gift card for letting them inspect the roof.[5]
  • A crew that arrives within hours of a storm with no local address and an out-of-state plate.[6]
  • No itemized repair estimate before you're asked to sign a roof repair agreement.[5]

Rules that protect you

  • Sign inside the six-month window after your area's own emergency declaration and state law stretches your cancellation right out to 10 days, or up to whenever the crew is scheduled to actually begin, whichever lands sooner.[5]
  • Roofing generally requires a building permit; the state's $7,500 minor-repair exemption for homeowners doesn't cover structural work like roofing.[7]
  • A first payment above the 10% mark triggers Florida's permit clock, giving the contractor a month to submit the paperwork and three months from its issue date to actually get started.[8]

Before you let anyone on your {city} roof

  1. Does the name on the bid match the name on the license exactly?
  2. Is the license active, and when does it expire?
  3. Does the company have a local address, or only a cell phone number and an out-of-state plate?
  4. Did they contact you first, unprompted, right after a storm?
  5. Are they asking for full payment, cash only, or a deposit before any paperwork is signed?
  6. Will they give you a written, itemized estimate before you commit to anything?
