Ohio homeowners: Did you know Ohio has NO statewide roofing license? That means anyone with a truck and ladder can legally call themselves a roofer.
Without state licensing requirements, the responsibility falls on YOU to verify credentials before hiring. The BBB reports roofing is consistently in the top 10 most complained-about industries nationwide.
Our new 2026 guide shows you exactly how to protect yourself:
✅ Step 1: Verify Insurance (call the carrier directly!)
✅ Step 2: Check Municipal Registration
✅ Step 3: Verify Manufacturer Certifications
✅ Step 4: Check BBB Accreditation
✅ Step 5: Confirm Physical Business Address
RED FLAGS TO WATCH FOR:
❌ No Certificate of Insurance or expired coverage
❌ Not registered in any municipality
❌ No manufacturer certifications
No physical business address
❌ Pattern of unresolved BBB complaints
❌ Pressure to sign immediately
