How Do I Know If a Baton Rouge Roofer Is Licensed?
What to verify before anyone climbs on your roof, the questions storm chasers hate, and the license number we work under.

Hiring A Roofer
The short answer
Ask for the contractor's license number in writing, confirm the legal business name matches the name on the quote, and verify the number with the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors before work begins. A legitimate roofer hands it over without hesitating.
Ralph's Roofing & Restoration works under Louisiana Contractor License #6386. We are family-owned, based in the Greater Baton Rouge area, and our inspections and written quotes are free.
Verify Before Anyone Gets on Your Roof
- Get the license number in writing, on the quote, not just spoken at your door.
- Check that the legal business name on the quote matches the licensed entity.
- Verify the number with the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors.
- Ask for proof of liability insurance and workers compensation coverage.
- Confirm there is a local address and a service area, not only a cell number.
- Ask who is actually doing the work: the company you hired, or a subcontractor crew you have never met.
Red Flags After a Storm
- A knock on the door hours after a storm, with pressure to sign today.
- A large cash deposit requested before any work is scheduled.
- A quote written as one line and one total, with no scope and no materials named.
- Promises about what your insurance company will or will not pay. No roofer controls that.
- No license number offered, or one that does not match the business name on the paperwork.
- Out-of-state plates, a temporary phone number, and no local address.
What You Get With Ralph's Roofing
- Louisiana Contractor License #6386, a real service area, and a family-owned company serving Greater Baton Rouge since 2011.
- A free on-roof inspection with photos of every problem area, and no obligation.
- An itemized written scope and price, with each line tied to something we photographed.
- A 5-year workmanship warranty on the work we perform.
- Dated photo documentation of storm damage, written up so you can keep or submit it yourself. We are roofers, not insurance professionals, and we do not file, adjust, or negotiate claims.
- In-house roofing plus interior restoration, so drywall, paint, and flooring are handled by the same team.
Questions Worth Asking Every Roofer You Call
- What is your license number, and is it on my written quote?
- Who is on the crew, and are they employees or subcontractors?
- What happens if you find rotted decking after tear-off, and how is that priced?
- What exactly does your workmanship warranty cover, and for how long?
- How do you protect landscaping, driveways, and pools, and how is cleanup handled?
- Can I see photos of my roof before I approve the work?

More questions Baton Rouge homeowners ask
What is Ralph's Roofing license number?
We work under Louisiana Contractor License #6386. Ask for it in writing, and ask every other roofer you call for theirs.
Why do storm chasers show up after a hail or wind event?
Damage creates urgency, and urgency sells. Out-of-town crews follow storms, collect deposits, subcontract the work, and are gone before problems appear. A local company with a license number and a physical service area has to live with its work.
Should I pay a deposit before work starts?
Be careful with large up-front cash requests, especially from someone who knocked on your door. Our inspection and written quote cost nothing, and the scope and price are documented before anything is scheduled.
What should a legitimate roofing quote include?
Company name and license number, an itemized scope, the specific materials, decking replacement terms, cleanup, warranty terms, and a total price. If a quote is one line and one number, ask for detail before you sign it.
Do you handle interior damage as well as the roof?
Yes. Drywall repair, interior painting, and flooring are done in house, so water damage inside the home is repaired by the same company that fixed the roof.
