Florida Roofers

Hiring a Roofer in Florida

Buildermuse currently lists 10 roofers in Florida, averaging 5.0 stars across 3,276 verified Google reviews. That is an unusually strong field — when nearly every firm clears 4.8 stars, response time and availability become the real differentiators, so call two or three rather than only the top result. Most of the crews above operate out of Cutler Bay, Fort Myers, and Naples.

Florida licenses this trade at the state level: the Roofing credential is required for all work, regardless of project size. Separate certification required for roofing work. Licenses renew on a two-year cycle (August 31 of even years). Expect a $249 state application fee. Verify any license directly with the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) at (850) 487-1395 before signing a contract. At a minimum, ask for proof of $300,000 in general liability coverage and active workers' comp.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the Florida market sets the floor: construction workers here average $32.33 an hour — about $67,236 a year — across 652,586 workers statewide, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Use that figure as a sanity check when comparing quotes — a bid priced far below market labor rates usually means subcontracted or uninsured crews.
