How to Verify a Professional

Insurance

Request a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for general liability (at least $1M) and workers' compensation. Call the insurer listed to confirm coverage dates and limits. Don't accept just a verbal promise.

Licensing

Arizona requires roofing contractors to hold a ROC license (CR-11 for roofing). Ask for the license number and verify at roc.az.gov or call (602) 542-1525. Check for active status and complaints. Search by name or number – it's free and quick.

References

Ask for 3 recent jobs in Morristown or Maricopa County. Call each reference to ask about work quality, timeliness, cleanup, and if they'd hire again. Local references prove reliability.
