The Importance Of Hiring a Licensed Contractor
At Brown Roofing, we understand the significance of trust and reliability when it comes to choosing the right contractor for your home. Roofing is a significant investment, and it’s essential to ensure that the contractor you hire has the proper qualifications and protections in place. That's why, for over 50 years, we're proud to be a fully licensed and insured roofing company in the state of Connecticut. Our Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) license number is H I C . 0 5 4 9 0 1 1, and we are committed to upholding the highest standards of craftsmanship and professionalism in every project we take on.
What Does Being Licensed and Insured Mean for You?
In Connecticut, a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) license is required for any contractor who performs work on residential properties. This includes roofing services, whether it's a complete roof replacement or a simple repair. As a licensed roofer we have met all state requirements and are registered with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP), ensuring that we are legally allowed to perform work within the state.
Being insured goes hand in hand with being licensed. It provides peace of mind for homeowners, as it protects both the contractor and the homeowner in case of an accident or unforeseen issue during the job. At Brown Roofing, we carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation insurance to safeguard our team and clients alike.
Why Should You Choose a Licensed and Insured Roofer?
Legal Protection and Compliance - Hiring a licensed roofer ensures that the contractor is compliant with Connecticut’s laws and regulations. By choosing a licensed company like Brown Roofing, you can rest assured that we adhere to the standards set forth by the state’s Home Improvement Act. This means that we follow the required practices for safety, quality, and ethical business conduct. Furthermore, as a licensed contractor we have demonstrated our competence in the roofing industry. We’ve passed the necessary tests and met the qualifications to operate legally, which means that you’re hiring a professional who knows what they’re doing.
Insurance Protects Your Home
Accidents can happen, even with the best crews and the most careful planning. Whether it’s an unexpected fall, property damage, or a tool mishap, having insurance in place protects you as a homeowner. Brown Roofing’s general liability insurance covers any damage to your property caused by our crew during the job. Additionally, our workers' compensation insurance ensures that if any of our employees are injured while working on your property, they’ll be taken care of without it costing you a dime. Without insurance, you could potentially be held responsible for medical expenses or damages, which is a significant risk for homeowners.
Quality Work Guaranteed
When you hire a licensed contractor, you're also ensuring that the work completed will meet industry standards. As a licensed and insured roofer, Brown Roofing adheres to the best practices in the roofing industry, using high-quality materials and implementing proper installation techniques. Additionally, we use techniques like back nailing to fortify your roof decking and fully wrapping edge metals to be sure your roof is water tight—another benefit of choosing a reputable roofer like Brown Roofing.
Protection Against Fraud and Scams
The unfortunate reality is that there are unlicensed and uninsured contractors who prey on unsuspecting homeowners. These “fly-by-night” companies can offer low prices but may lack the experience, training, and insurance necessary to do the job right. By hiring a licensed contractor like Brown Roofing, you avoid the risk of hiring a fraud or being scammed by a contractor who doesn’t have the credentials or insurance to back up their work.
Furthermore, as a licensed contractor, Brown Roofing is accountable to the state and is subject to regulation and oversight. If there were ever an issue, you would have the support of the state to help resolve the matter.
Peace of Mind for You and Your Family
Your roof is one of the most essential components of your home. It protects you and your loved ones from the elements and keeps your property safe and secure. By hiring a licensed and insured roofer like Brown Roofing, you are making a responsible decision to ensure that the job is done correctly and safely. You can have peace of mind knowing that you're working with professionals who take their craft seriously and who are fully protected in the event of an emergency.
