When it comes to replacing or repairing a roof, your condominium board carries a big responsibility. Choosing the wrong Florida condo roofing contractor can put your community at risk not just from a delays perspective, but in years of costly litigation, ongoing repairs and other issues. 

Here are some interview questions every condominium association should be asking of the Florida roofing contractors they’re vetting: 

1. How long have you been in business?

   This one might seem basic, but a roofing company’s history tells you a lot about its credibility. Ask about current ownership, how long the company has operated under that name, and key personnel who will oversee your project. Longevity and consistency are good signs of stability.
   
   

2. What percentage of your work is with condos or HOAs?

   Not every contractor understands the unique needs of multi-family communities. A Florida roofing contractor with direct HOA and condo experience will already know how to coordinate with property managers, communicate with residents, and plan work with minimal disruption.
   
   

3. Do you use subcontractors?

   Some roofing companies complete all the work with their own crews, while others rely heavily on subcontractors. If they do use subcontractors, ask why, how often, and how those subcontractors are vetted. Poorly managed subcontracting can lead to quality issues and communication breakdowns.
   
   

4. Can you provide bank and vendor credit references?

   Large roofing projects require significant material purchases. If your contractor lacks financial stability, your project may be delayed if suppliers don’t get paid. Asking for references ensures the contractor can handle the financial responsibility of the job.
   
   

5. What warranties do you provide?

   Every Florida roofing contractor should clearly explain both their workmanship warranty and any manufacturer’s warranties that apply. Getting this in writing before you sign helps prevent disputes later.
   
   These five questions may seem simple, but they uncover critical details about a condominium roofing contractor’s reliability, experience, and financial strength. By asking them up front, you can ensure your board makes a decision that benefits your entire community for years to come.
