I found a roofer through a friend, but would like to make sure he is properly licensed and insured (he says he is)– any place to check up on this info or if he is a reputable guy?
Basically, he says his roof comes with a 10 year guarantee, but I want to make sure he’s not a fly-by-night kind of guy and might actually be around in 10 years. Any way to check on how long a business has been around?
Thanks for any advice.

  1. 1- Dept. of Consumer Affairs has a data base of HIC contractors. This is required when working on 1 to 4 family dwellings.
    2- Dept. of Buildings has a data base of all contractors that can pull a DOB permit. Insurances show up on the DOB website.

    Those are good starts.
