Before you decide
Choosing a roofing contractor questions.
Useful answers to start with. Your property and proposed scope make the conversation specific.
Talk with BrehmWhat is the most useful way to compare roof estimates?
Compare the scope line by line before comparing the total. Identify products, existing-roof work, decking, flashing, ventilation, cleanup, and documents. An unanswered item is a question to clarify, not an automatic sign that one proposal is better.
Where should I verify contractor licensing?
Use the official Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation records for the relevant license and contracting party. Brehm publishes CCC1336098 and CRC1334991. Confirm the record and scope appropriate to your project.
Is the lowest total always the best choice?
A total only becomes meaningful alongside its scope. Compare what is included, excluded, allowed for, and conditional. Ask about material selections, related roof details, and change approvals before deciding.
What does the comparison tool do?
It helps you track which details are clear in each proposal. It does not rank contractors or judge a roof’s condition. Your selections stay in this browser tab unless you download your notes.

What are you comparing?
Choose a starting point and see which questions belong in the conversation.
Your starting point
Verify who is responsible for the work.
Confirm the business identity, appropriate licensing, insurance documentation, and who will communicate with you. Use official records for credential checks and ask questions about the actual project team.
Bring this questionWho is the contracting party, and who will be my project contact?
Your starting point
Compare the same parts of the project.
Products, existing conditions, flashing, ventilation, cleanup, and documentation can differ between proposals. Use the comparison worksheet to reveal questions that still need an answer.
Bring this questionWhere do the proposals describe different work or leave a detail unclear?
Your starting point
Know what happens after the agreement.
Discuss scheduling communication, changes to the scope, payment terms, and final documents. Clear expectations help you understand the commitment you are making.
Bring this questionHow will questions, changes, and closeout be handled?
