Most states require roofing contractors to be licensed in that state, so they can perform their duties, but sometimes that will change between states. It’s always good practice to check with your roofing company and ensure that they are well certified with local regulations.
You don’t want to be held liable for an employee’s injury, should one happen on your property. Ask the company if they have a workman’s comp insurance so that you aren’t held responsible for medical expenses. Protect yourself and ensure your roofing specialist is up to date on certifications. Can-Am Roofing & Solar does have a workman’s comp insurance, so all of our works are insured, and you are protected from any damages or expenses.
Workman’s compensation insurances cover the employees while they’re on your property, but it doesn’t cover damages to your property. Ask to see an insurance certificate to verify that the roofer has general liability insurance so that your home is protected from any potential damages that could be caused by someone else.
It’s best to find a skilled, knowledgeable professional in the roofing industry. Ask your roofer how many jobs they’ve worked on and what kind of projects they’ve done. If they’ve done your project before, then it’s a safe bet they can execute your roofing project without a problem. Can-Am Roofing & Solar has done 2947 different housing projects.

When getting serviced by a contractor, it’s always good to make sure they have a guarantee in place – in case something goes wrong, you don’t want to be the one at fault. Can-Am Roofing & Solar offers a 100% service guarantee on all our projects.
This is something many roofing contractors will simply “let slip under the rug” and not do unless you bring it up. Doing this will help guide runoff water into the gutters instead of behind them, protecting wood and your roof from water damage.
It’s important to find a local contractor that’s familiar with your area. Weather can be predictable if they live there, and they can do service faster if they are close to your location.
All contractors should offer at least a 25-year warranty on new roofs.
