Pennsylvania requires roofers to register with the Attorney General's office. Ask for their registration number.

1

Roofing is high-risk work. Verify coverage of at least $1 million liability and active workers' comp.

2

Estimates should specify shingle brand/model, underlayment type, ice and water shield coverage, and ventilation.

3

Critical for Erie roofs. Ice and water shield should extend at least 3 feet from eaves and cover all valleys.

4

GAF Master Elite, CertainTeed SELECT, and Owens Corning Preferred contractors offer enhanced warranties.

5

Proper attic ventilation prevents ice dams. Your roofer should evaluate soffit and ridge ventilation.

6

Roof replacement in Erie requires a building permit. The contractor should obtain it.

7

Erie's lake effect weather causes unique roof damage. Ask about their experience with insurance claims.

8

Roofing quality is best judged after one full Erie winter. Ask for references at least one season old.

9

Old shingles, nails, and debris should be removed. Ask about their magnetic nail sweep process.

10

Manufacturer warranty covers materials; workmanship warranty covers installation. Get both in writing.
