Planning estimate only, not a contractor quote. Built from Home Cost USA modeled national unit costs for roof replacement, and adjusted for job complexity (×1.00). No validated local cost adjustment is applied, so this is a national planning benchmark rather than a local price. Scope assumed: Architectural asphalt shingles with standard underlayment and flashing.

Estimate your own roof replacement

Hiring a roofing contractor in Florida

Collect at least three itemized written bids for the same scope. Bids that differ by more than about a third usually describe different work, not different value, check material grade, prep, and warranty before you compare totals.

Ask who pulls the permit. In most jurisdictions the licensed contractor pulls it, and a contractor who asks you to pull it as the homeowner is shifting liability onto you.

Verify license and insurance status yourself with the appropriate Florida state agency before signing. Home Cost USA does not verify licenses, and no company on this page is endorsed or vetted by us.

Never pay the full amount up front. Tie payments to milestones and keep the final payment until the work passes inspection and your punch list is complete.

Questions to ask before you hire

Comparing bids only works when every bid covers the same scope. Ask each contractor the same questions and write the answers down.

1Will you tear off the existing layers or install over them, and why?
2What underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and ventilation are included?
3How will you handle any decking rot you find after tear-off?
4Can you send an itemized written estimate that separates labor, materials, and permit fees?
5Is your business licensed for this work in my state, and can you share your license and insurance certificates?
6Who will be on site day to day, and are they employees or subcontractors?
7What is your written warranty on labor, and how long does the material warranty last?
8What is your payment schedule, and how much do you require up front?
9What would cause the price to change once work starts, and how are change orders approved?
10How will you protect the rest of my home, and who handles cleanup and disposal?
