What's on each listing

In a city where a license page exists, every company shown there carries a license or registration number issued by that state's own contractor licensing agency, whether that's a labor department, a dedicated board, or a business regulator. We show the number, the license class, and how long it has been active; where there's no license page yet, we show the company's Google rating and review count instead.

We don't write our own reviews or invent a rating for any listed company. A license record tells you the company holds a current registration for that trade and how long it has held it; a Google rating, where that's what we show, is Google's own number, and neither one tells you whether the work will turn out well.

Why the record matters more than the pitch

Roofing draws more license-fraud complaints than most trades because a bad roof job is expensive and hard for a homeowner to check before the crew leaves. Washington's L&I and California's CSLB both publish hiring guidance that starts with the same step: confirm the license before you talk price.[1],[2]

A license also means there's a bond or insurance behind the work in most cases, which is where a homeowner turns first if a job goes wrong.[3],[4]

Read the guides before you sign

Our guides walk through what a roof replacement involves, which permits apply in each state, what belongs in the written contract, and when code lets a crew install new shingles over old ones instead of stripping the roof down to the deck.

Questions people ask

Does a listing mean the company is the best choice for my job?

No. Where we have a license page, a listing means the company held a current license or registration on the date we last checked. Where we don't, a listing means the business turned up on Google Maps with a strong rating as of the month we checked; either way, it isn't our endorsement.

How often is the license data updated?

It depends on the state. Washington's L&I dataset is refreshed multiple times a day; California and Florida publish on their own schedules. See How We Verify for details.[5]

Is it safe to use a company that was licensed recently?

A new license isn't a red flag by itself. It's worth asking how long the crew has worked in roofing specifically, since a business license and trade experience aren't the same thing.
