Do roofing contractors need a license in Georgia?

No. Georgia does not issue a state license specifically for roofing contractors, so a homeowner cannot check a license number. That makes manufacturer certification, BBB accreditation, and proof of insurance the practical credentials to verify instead. Summit Roofing is GAF-certified and IKO-certified, BBB Accredited, and licensed and insured.

What does a GAF or IKO certified roofer mean?

A roofing contractor earns certification from a manufacturer like GAF or IKO by meeting the manufacturer's standards, which signals product knowledge, a vetted track record, and training to install the manufacturer's systems correctly. Because Georgia does not license roofers, that certification is a meaningful credential. Summit Roofing holds both GAF and IKO certification.

Why is insurance important when hiring a roofer?

A roofing contractor's liability insurance covers damage to your property during the work, and workers' compensation covers crew injuries, so you are not exposed if something goes wrong on the roof. Hiring an uninsured roofer to save money can leave you liable. Summit Roofing is licensed and insured, and confirming current insurance is a baseline before any roofer starts.
