How to verify a roofer in Wisconsin

Check local rules. Five checks to make before you sign.

What Wisconsin requires

No statewide license; local permits required.

PickARoofer does not check a state registry for Wisconsin. Ask the roofer for a license or registration number if the state or your city requires one, and confirm it with the state contractor board or your city or county building department.

Five checks before you sign

  1. Ask for the license or registration number where one applies, and check it with the regulator named above. Where none applies, ask which permits the roofer will pull.
  2. Ask for a current certificate of insurance (general liability and workers’ compensation) sent to you directly by the insurer or agent. PickARoofer does not verify insurance.
  3. Get a written contract with the scope, materials, total price, start date and warranty terms. Do not sign a blank or partly filled form.
  4. Check the permit. Ask who pulls it and confirm with your city or county building department that it was issued.
  5. Be careful with large deposits and door-to-door offers after a storm. Read how to avoid storm-chaser scams.
