What Virginia requires of roofers

In Virginia, roofing contractors must be licensed through the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) under the Virginia Board for Contractors. There are three license classes based on project size: Class A (unlimited project value), Class B (projects up to $120,000 per contract and $750,000 aggregate annually), and Class C (projects up to $10,000 per contract and $150,000 aggregate annually). Roofing falls under a specialty trade classification, and applicants must select the appropriate class and trade category when applying. All applicants must demonstrate financial solvency, provide proof of liability insurance, and meet experience requirements relevant to their license class.

To obtain a Class A or Class B license, a Qualified Individual (QI) must pass a trade examination as well as a business and law exam administered through PSI Exams. Class C applicants are only required to pass the business and law exam. The QI must have verifiable work experience in the roofing trade, typically a minimum of two years for Class B and additional experience for Class A. Applications are submitted to DPOR along with the applicable fees, which vary by class but generally range from approximately $170 to $360 for initial licensure. Licenses must be renewed every two years, with renewal fees similar to initial application costs.

Virginia does not generally allow local jurisdictions to impose separate contractor licensing requirements beyond the state level, though localities may have their own permit and zoning requirements. Contractors must carry general liability insurance with minimum coverage amounts that vary by license class, and some localities may require proof of workers compensation coverage as well. Staying current with renewal deadlines and insurance requirements is essential to maintaining an active license in good standing.

Frequently asked - Virginia

Does a roofing contractor in Virginia need to be licensed?
Yes. Virginia requires roofing contractors to hold a valid Class A, B, or C contractor license issued by the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation, depending on project size. Always ask to see the license number and verify it on the DPOR website before signing any contract. Hiring an unlicensed contractor can leave you unprotected if something goes wrong.
Should I get multiple quotes before hiring a Virginia roofer?
Absolutely. Getting at least three written estimates helps you compare pricing, materials, and scope of work. Virginia roofing costs can vary significantly by region, from Northern Virginia's higher labor market to more rural areas. A detailed written quote protects you and makes it easier to spot contractors who are cutting corners or padding costs.
What insurance should a Virginia roofing contractor carry?
At minimum, your roofer should carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Virginia law requires workers' comp for contractors with three or more employees. Ask for certificates of insurance before work begins. If a worker is injured on your property and the contractor lacks proper coverage, you could be held financially responsible.
How do I know if my Virginia roof damage is covered by homeowners insurance?
Most Virginia homeowners insurance policies cover sudden damage from storms, wind, and hail, which are common in the state. Damage from neglect or normal wear is typically not covered. After a storm, document damage with photos and contact your insurer promptly. A reputable roofer can help identify damage, but be cautious of contractors who pressure you into filing claims.
What roofing materials work best for Virginia's climate?
Virginia experiences hot, humid summers, cold winters, and frequent storms, so durability matters. Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular choice due to their affordability and weather resistance. Metal roofing is increasingly common for its longevity and energy efficiency. In coastal or storm-prone areas, impact-resistant shingles rated for high winds are worth the added investment.
What questions should I ask a Virginia roofing contractor before hiring?
Ask about their DPOR license number, insurance coverage, years of experience in Virginia, and whether they use subcontractors. Find out if they will pull the required local permits, what warranty they offer on both materials and labor, and how they handle cleanup and disposal. Getting clear answers in writing before signing protects you throughout the entire project.
