Homeowners in Pennsylvania planning residential roofing projects now have access to an expert guide from Certitude Roofing and Siding, designed to help identify qualified, trustworthy contractors. The recently released article, “10 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Roofing Contractor”, provides clear, practical advice on evaluating roofing professionals and avoiding costly missteps.

As roofing needs continue to rise across the state, this resource supports homeowners in protecting their investments, making informed decisions, and securing long-lasting, high-quality roofing systems.

Essential Topics to Discuss Before Hiring a Roofing Contractor

The blog outlines ten foundational topics that every homeowner should raise during the contractor evaluation process. These include licensing, insurance, warranties, certifications, and project supervision. Discussing these points early helps ensure the roofer’s qualifications align with the homeowner’s expectations, schedule, and budget.

Recommended questions cover areas such as:

• Proof of current Pennsylvania license and insurance

• References from recent clients in the area

• Types of roofing materials recommended and why

• Coverage provided by labor and material warranties

• Protection of landscaping and cleanup protocol

• Certifications from major manufacturers

• Communication plan and site supervision details

Each point is tailored to help Pennsylvania homeowners work with roofers who are professional, organized, and dependable.

Clear Indicators That Define a Reliable Roofing Contractor

Certitude Roofing and Siding emphasizes several core characteristics that define trustworthy roofing contractors. These include:

• Active insurance policies, including general liability and workers’ compensation

• Positive online reviews from verified customers

• Written estimates with complete cost transparency

• Clean and secure worksite practices

• Local office presence and years of community involvement

According to Ryan Dean, owner of Certitude Roofing and Siding, simple steps can help homeowners avoid major liabilities.

“One of the most important details is confirming the contractor has workers’ compensation insurance, not just general liability coverage. Without it, any on-site injury could create legal and financial exposure for the homeowner. This verification should never be overlooked.”

Dean also highlighted operational practices that enhance homeowner experience.

“Protective tarps, magnetic sweepers for nails, and pre- and post-project photos are used on every project. These steps should be standard across the industry, not extras.”

Verification of Roofing Contractor Licensing in Pennsylvania

In Pennsylvania, contractors performing home improvements are required to register under the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act (HICPA). The Office of the Attorney General maintains a public database that allows homeowners to search for contractor registration status by name or number.

Homeowners can verify a contractor’s credentials by:

1. Visiting the official PA Attorney General’s website

2. Using the Contractor Search Tool

3. Confirming that the license is active and complaint-free

Verifying this status provides legal protection and helps ensure that the roofing contractor meets state compliance standards.

Manufacturer-Certified Roofers Provide Added Benefits

Certitude Roofing and Siding holds certifications from top-tier roofing manufacturers including GAF and CertainTeed. These credentials are granted only to roofers who meet stringent quality, safety, and customer satisfaction standards.

• Extended warranty coverage directly from the manufacturer
