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 registration, confirm workers compensation coverage.

Pennsylvania does not license roofers. Under the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act a contractor doing 5,000 dollars or more of home improvement work a year has to register with the Attorney General, and that PA number is what you can check. Look up a registration before you hire.
