Given that even the highest quality installation could experience unexpected problems, be sure to select a roofing contractor carrying complete insurance: general liability insurance with adequate coverage for your property, New York State workers' compensation, and disability benefits protection for all workers on site. Always request official documentation from the insurance provider, rather than photocopies or images, and verify valid insurance dates and coverage on an occurrence basis. Don't forget to confirm Additional Insured status and Primary/Noncontributory coverage listing both you and your property.
Ask about the contractor manages claim disputes and needs carriers to waive subrogation as needed. Verify completed-operations coverage for post-project issues. Verify policy numbers against the New York State Workers' Compensation Board database. Require written notice for all cancellations during the project. Record everything in your contract, including all certificates, endorsements, and insurance company contacts.
