General contractors can typically do a lot of different jobs and help you out when you need it. However, when it comes to roofing in the state of Florida, getting a general contractor to work for you simply won’t cut it. Just like in the case of DIY roofing, Florida makes roofing jobs practically off limits to anyone who doesn’t have a roofing license. As a result, even if you have the knowledge to work on your roof, you simply won’t be allowed to do it; and that applies to general contractors as well.
The rule in Florida is that you can get a roofing license if you have at least four years of experience in a construction-related field, with at least one year of experience as a foreman. These strict requirements apply to the entire state of Florida, and there are really no exceptions or loopholes you can use to bypass them.
Your best choice here is to consider hiring a licensed and certified roof replacement Panama City contractor specializing in the field of work that your project adheres to. Aim to find an expert with more than five years of experience as a licensed roofer in the Florida area, and who knows as much as possible about your existing roof, as well as the new roofing system that you’d like to have installed.
