15 roofing companies in Seattle that passed our license check

How this list was made 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 L&I contractor lookup and found an active license or registration.

15 of the 15 roofing companies we list in Seattle passed. They are in alphabetical order, so the first name is not the “winner”. How we verify. We earn money by selling homeowner requests to contractors, which does not change who is on this list or in what order (how the money works).

Licenses in Washington

Washington does not license roofing — it requires every construction contractor to register with Labor & Industries, bonded and insured, and publishes that register daily.

Verified badges in Washington mean an active L&I contractor registration — a state registration, not a roofing license, which Washington does not issue.

Company counts are for the county and leave out owners with no employees, so they do not match our city list.

What we could not check

A license shows a roofer is allowed to work. It does not show how well they work. Three things are on you before you sign.

Insurance Ask for a certificate of insurance with general liability and workers’ compensation, then call the insurer and confirm it is current.
Warranty in writing Get the workmanship warranty (years and what it covers) on the contract, separate from the shingle maker’s warranty.
Recent local jobs Ask for two addresses in Seattle roofed in the last year and drive by.
WhatStatusWhat to do

Six questions to ask any Seattle roofer

Use them with every name on this list, and with anyone who is not on it.

  1. What is your license or registration number?A number you can look up yourself, on a name that matches the contract.Washington note. L&I contractor lookup lists the licenses we check. Look the number up there.
  2. Can I see your certificate of insurance?General liability and workers' compensation, with dates. Call the insurer to confirm it is in force.Washington note. A license on the Washington registry does not prove insurance. Our check does not either.
  3. Who pulls the permit, and what is the permit number?The roofer pulls it. Permit rules are set by your Seattle city or county, so you can call the building department to check.
  4. What does the workmanship warranty cover, and for how long?Years and exclusions written in the contract. This is separate from the shingle maker's warranty.
  5. Where is your office, and which two Seattle jobs did you finish this year?A street address you can find, and two addresses you can drive past.
  6. What is the payment schedule, and what is in the written estimate?Itemized materials and labor. A large deposit before materials arrive is a reason to slow down.
