16 of 29 listed roofers have a license record that matches the state registry, last checked Nov 8, 2026. They are listed alphabetically. No stars, and no spot is for sale.
A listing costs nothing and cannot be bought. We do not rank by star ratings because we do not have review data we trust. A roofer makes the list for one reason: we looked them up on Florida DBPR license lookup and found an active license or registration.
They are in alphabetical order, so the first name is not the “winner”. How we verify. We earn money when contractors accept homeowner requests, which does not change who is on this list or in what order (how the money works).
55% of the roofers we list here have a license record that matches the state registry. Last registry check: Nov 8, 2026.

Florida licenses roofing contractors through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Certified Roofing Contractor and Registered Roofing Contractor are separate license types, and DBPR's own license search lets anyone verify one by name.

Most roofing companies are small, so a famous name is a poor filter. A license number is a better one.

Source: NOAA Storm Events, 2014 to June 2026A license shows a roofer is allowed to work. It does not show how well they work. Three things are on you before you sign.
Ask for a certificate of insurance with general liability and workers’ compensation, then call the insurer and confirm it is current.
Get the workmanship warranty (years and what it covers) on the contract, separate from the shingle maker’s warranty.
Ask for two addresses in Ocala roofed in the last year and drive by.
| What | Status | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| License or registration | Checked | Looked up on Florida DBPR license lookup; number, status and expiry copied as the registry shows them. |
| Insurance | Not checked | Ask for a certificate; call the insurer. |
| Workmanship warranty | Not checked | Get years and coverage in the contract. |
| Quality of past work | Not checked | No star ratings here. Ask for two recent local jobs. |
Use them with every name on this list, and with anyone who is not on it.
No list can name one. A license shows a roofer is allowed to work, not how well they work. 16 of 29 have a license record that matches the state registry. The rest is on you: ask for a certificate of insurance, a written warranty and two recent Ocala jobs to drive past.
No. We do not show star ratings or reviews because we do not have review data we trust. What we show can be checked: license number, status, expiry date and the date we looked it up.
