One of the most important factors homeowners should consider when hiring a licensed roofing contractor in Minnesota is whether that company is properly licensed and certified. Because licenses and certifications aren’t just boxes to check — they’re signs of professionalism, accountability, and long-term peace of mind for homeowners.
Let’s explore some top reasons why it’s important to always work with a licensed and insured roofer.
Professionalism You Can Count On
Proper licenses and certifications are signs of a company that takes its work seriously. These roofers invest in the proper training, follow building codes, and adhere to specific manufacturing standards and business practices, which is a great sign that they can be trusted to do the same for your roofing project.
Third-Party Validation Builds Credibility
Certification goes a step beyond licensing — many reputable roofing suppliers and manufacturers offer certifications, like Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor or GAF Master Elite Contractor to contractors who meet rigorous standards for workmanship, customer service, and ongoing training. Additionally, certified roofing companies are often able to extend manufacturer warranties that aren’t available to uncertified contractors with long-term protection that makes a significant difference in the value and durability of your investment.
Legal Peace of Mind
In Minnesota, roofing contractors who complete $15,000+ in work per year are required by law to hold valid licenses, ensuring that businesses have met minimum standards of knowledge, safety, and financial responsibility. Should something go wrong during a project such as an injury or building code missed, proper licensing protects you from legal liability.

Because it’s not just about putting shingles on a roof, it’s about delivering quality craftsmanship and service you can trust.
