Notes
New York does not require a statewide license for roofers or roofing contractors. Licensing is handled at the local level. New York City requires a Home Improvement Contractor license through the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk counties also have local licensing. Verify local requirements.
