About Warwick Roof Pros: Licensed Roofing Pros in RI
Warwick Roof Pros works out of Warwick and across Kent County, on houses, plazas, churches, schools and light-industrial buildings. What we do differently is start every job with a covering schedule instead of a price, because Rhode Island attaches its roofing credential to the covering and the operation rather than to the building, and most quotes in this market never acknowledge that.
There are jobs where hiring us is the wrong call and we would rather say so early. If you need one flashing detail fixed and nothing else, a good local repair carpenter will cost you less than we will.
If price is the only axis you are working on, somebody will undercut us, and taking that offer is the rational move. And if what you want is a permanent roof built on the same afternoon as the emergency tarp, we are not going to do that.
We keep crews small and we do not subcontract the membrane, the metal or the sealing to anyone, which is the whole point of holding the chapter 5-73 license in the first place. Both credential numbers go on the estimate. The permit gets pulled in our name. Photographs of everything that ends up buried under a covering go to you at the end.
If you have a roofing project in Warwick, the fastest way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate. See every Warwick service we handle, check whether we cover West Warwick, RI and the rest of Kent County and the Greenwich Bay shore, or go back to the Warwick Roof Pros homepage to start.

Credentials
- License: Rhode Island runs two separate instruments and they are constantly confused with each other. Every contractor working here registers with the Contractors' Registration and Licensing Board under chapter 5-65, and section 5-65-22 requires that registration number to appear on proposals, contracts and invoices. Commercial and industrial roofing needs a second and different thing: a roofing license under chapter 5-73, with a PSI examination behind it, a ten-hour safety course for field personnel and twelve hours of continuing roofing education every two-year cycle. Section 5-73-3 exempts anyone applying shingles only, so a shingle crew on a house is lawfully unlicensed. We carry both numbers and print both on every estimate, with a note saying which one your building actually needs.
- Insurance: General liability sits at the two-million-per-occurrence level chapter 5-73 requires for the commercial roofing license, with workers' compensation running alongside it. Certificates come to you direct from the agent, addressed to you rather than forwarded as a scan of ours, and we would tell you to ask every bidder for the same thing before anyone sets a ladder against your building.
- Association: We make no trade-body claims. What we offer instead is verifiable in about four minutes: two credential numbers on the estimate, both searchable in the board's own register, and a closed-out permit on file at the building department in whichever Rhode Island city or town the roof sits in. Look them up before you sign anything, ours included.
- Warranty: Workmanship cover is written on the contract itself, with its term and the two things that void it stated in the same paragraph rather than referred out to a document nobody keeps. Material warranties belong to the manufacturer, and we hand over the registration paperwork with the final invoice so the cover is actually in your name.
How Warwick Roof Pros works
How a job with Warwick Roof Pros runs, start to finish
Site visit first, always. We measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and ask what you are actually trying to solve — then you get an itemized free estimate in writing with materials, scope and a realistic date on it.
Once the work starts, the same crew stays on the job until it is done. We protect the surrounding area, clean up daily, and tell you the moment something under the surface changes the plan, because the alternative is a surprise invoice and nobody wants that conversation.

What we will not do
We do not quote a roofing job over the phone, take deposits before a written scope exists, or bid work we are not set up to do properly. If your project needs a different trade, we say so and point you at someone who does it well. Losing a job is cheaper than doing one badly in Warwick.
Where Warwick Roof Pros works and who we work with

Work splits roughly between homeowners and commercial property — offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA boards across Kent County and the Greenwich Bay shore. Start with the Warwick services, the Warwick Roof Pros homepage, or just call (844) 511-2320.
Why Warwick Chooses Warwick Roof Pros
- ✓We schedule the coverings on a building before quoting it, because Rhode Island attaches its roofing credential to the covering rather than to the address on the deed.
- ✓One contract holds the membrane, the metal, the sealing and the transition between them, so the seam where these roofs actually leak has a named owner.
- ✓Fastener type and spacing go into the contract in writing, where you are entitled to check them with a tape measure instead of taking anyone's word for it.
- ✓We core low-slope roofs before recommending a coating, and we will tell you to spend nothing at all when the insulation underneath comes back wet.
- ✓On sound slate we recommend repair in copper rather than conversion, which costs us the larger job and leaves you with the better roof for longer.
- ✓Photographs of every detail that ends up buried under a covering go to you with the closed permit, so the work is auditable after the crew has gone.
What Warwick Customers Say
They came out for what I assumed was one roof and gave me a plan with four numbered areas on it. Two needed work now, two did not. Nobody else who quoted the building bothered to separate them.
Cut three cores on our plaza roof before quoting and found wet insulation across most of the back field. Told us a coating would be wasted money. That conversation saved us a bill we would have paid twice.
Slate roof, and they talked me out of replacing it. Reset the broken units, rebuilt the valley in copper and re-pointed the chimney crown. Came in well under the two tear-off prices I was already sitting on.
Tarped the building the night the storm came through and then made us wait a week for the real price, which they wrote down properly. The fastener spacing was on the contract. I checked it afterwards.
