Most contractor problems are preventable. These checks take under an hour and catch the most common hiring mistakes.
Ask for their MO contractor license number — then verify it yourself at the state licensing website before signing anything.
Request a certificate of insurance. Call the carrier directly to confirm general liability and workers' comp are active.
Get at least three written bids. Any quote more than 30% below average is a red flag, not a deal.
Ask specifically about permit requirements for roofing. A contractor who says "no permit needed" for structural work is a liability.
Read recent Google and BBB reviews for complaint patterns — not just star averages. One-star reviews reveal how disputes get resolved.

Mehlville market estimate
In Mehlville, roofing typically ranges from $8,000 to $18,000. Getting three written bids from licensed contractors is the most reliable way to calibrate your specific project.
Timeline depends on project scope. Ask for a written schedule before work begins, and specifically ask about material lead times and permit inspection windows — these cause most delays.
Most Midwest municipalities require a roofing permit for full replacement. Permits ensure decking inspection, proper underlayment, and code-compliant ventilation. Partial repairs often do not require one. Your contractor is responsible for obtaining all required permits before work begins.
Yes. Mehlville enforces active licensure and insurance. Ask any contractor for their license number and verify it at the MO state licensing website before signing a contract.
Four-point check: active license confirmed against the MO licensing authority, corporate standing reviewed, insurance validated, business reputation analyzed. We reject roughly 40% of applicants and monitor every listed contractor continuously. A license that lapses means removal.
