Hiring a Roofing Contractor

Roofing projects require permits and are subject to California energy code requirements for cool roof materials. Ask the contractor about ventilation, underlayment specifications, and manufacturer warranty requirements. Verify they carry adequate workers' compensation insurance, as roofing is a high-risk trade.

A California contractor license is generally required when a project costs $1,000 or more in combined labor and materials, requires a building permit, or uses additional workers. Small jobs cannot be split from a larger project to qualify for the exemption. Read the CSLB requirements.
