How to choose a roofer in Scottsdale
- Check the license on the Arizona ROC contractor search. Only an ACTIVE license can contract, and the license class should cover the work.
- Follow the ROC's advice before hiring: get written estimates from at least three contractors, never pay in cash, and get change orders signed by both parties.
- Permits: the City of Scottsdale's re-roofing guide says a building permit is required if any roof sheathing or structural framing is repaired or replaced, with inspections of the sheathing, flashing and underlayment, and final. Confirm with the city for your project.
- HOA: the city notes that CC&Rs may govern roof color and material, so check with your HOA before you pick.
- On tile roofs, ask which underlayment goes down and whether your existing tile will be reused. Leaks on tile roofs usually come from worn underlayment, not the tile.
