Be sure to ask for certificates of insurance straight from the insurance company, not informal documentation, and verify active coverage periods and occurrence-based coverage. Be sure to validate Additional Insured endorsements and Primary/Noncontributory policy provisions including your name and property details.
Inquire how the contractor handles claim disputes and requires carriers to waive subrogation where appropriate. Validate completed-operations coverage for post-completion matters. Cross-check policy numbers with the New York State Workers' Compensation Board database. Require written notice for any cancellations while work is ongoing. Document everything in your contract, including all certificates, endorsements, and insurance company contacts.
Materials That Withstand Long Island's Climate
Even with Long Island's challenging blend of salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and powerful nor'easter winds, the correct roofing materials can offer many years of steadfast performance when appropriately specified and installed. You'll want materials built for coastal exposure and verified to comply with New York State and local requirements.
Opt for Class 4 impact resistant shingles to protect against hail and windborne debris, combined with corrosion-proof or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners.
