Start with three bids. Line the scopes up next to each other before you look at the totals, because a low number usually means a smaller scope rather than a better price. Check the city license, confirm workers compensation coverage.

New York issues no state roofing license. In New York City a roofer needs a Home Improvement Contractor license from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, and Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Putnam and Rockland run their own. A roofer licensed in one of them is not automatically licensed in the next. Look up a city license before you hire.

Common questions

How many roofers are listed in Hempstead?

7 roofing companies are listed here with a working phone number, and the average rating across them is 4.9 out of 5.

What does a roof cost in Hempstead?

Cost depends on the size and pitch of the roof and on the material going back on it. Get three written quotes and compare the scope before the price.

Do I need a permit for roof work in Hempstead?

Yes for a reroof. The contractor pulls it and the job gets at least one inspection. Small repairs usually do not need one.

How do I check a roofer before hiring in Hempstead?

There is no state roofing license in New York, so ask which cities they are registered to work in, and ask for the certificate of insurance direct from the insurer. Ask the insurer to send proof of workers compensation direct to you. Be careful with a large deposit up front. Money paid before any material reaches the property is the hardest to get back if the job stalls.
