Yes. Bartow is part of our regular work, and we have been up on hundreds of Bartow roofs. We serve it from our Winter Haven location. ### How do I know you are licensed? Search CCC1328257 at myfloridalicense.com. Florida requires the license number on every proposal, contract and advertisement (s. 489.119(5)(b), Fla. Stat.). ### Do I need a permit for a new roof in Bartow? Re-roofs generally need a building permit, and we handle the application and the inspections. Which office issues it depends on whether the address is inside the City of Bartow. ### Can you file my insurance claim for me? No. Only a licensed public adjuster may interpret your policy or adjust a [claim](https://www.budgetroofingservice.com/blog/insurance-roof-claims/) on your behalf (s. 489.147(2)(d)). We provide the inspection, the photos and a written, itemized estimate (s. 489.147(2)(e)). ### Do you use subcontractors? No. Our crews are our own employees. When a contractor sublets work, Florida law makes it responsible for the subcontractor's workers unless they have their own coverage (s. 440.10(1)(b)), so it is worth asking every roofer who will actually be on your roof. ### Can I cancel a roof contract I signed after a storm? Sometimes. If the contract was signed within 180 days of a governor-declared state of [emergency](https://www.budgetroofingservice.com/blog/emergency-roof-repair-in-florida-what-to-do-first/) and your home is in the declared area, you can cancel within 10 days of signing or by the official start date, whichever comes first, by certified mail, return receipt requested (s. 489.147(6)). Still have a question? Call (863) 967-6675 or [send us a message](https://www.budgetroofingservice.com/contact-us/).
