Onward
We check every roofer so you don't have to.
Anyone can call themselves a roofer. To reach you, they have to prove it — and prove it again every year. So you get a safe pro, a fair price, and a job done right, with no scams and no stress.
Onward verifies every roofer with The Onward Shield, a 6-point check. We confirm a real license and live insurance, run a background check, require a written workmanship warranty, show only reviews from finished jobs, and re-check it all every year. Nearly 1 in 3 who apply don't make it in — so you stay safe.
How do we verify roofers?
Six checks every roofer must pass before they can reach you. Each one removes a real risk from your roof.
Real license verified
We confirm a real, active license with the state. No license, no entry — so you never hire someone who isn't allowed to touch your roof.
Insurance confirmed
We confirm live coverage. If a worker is hurt or your home is damaged, you're never the one who pays the bill.
Background check
We screen the business and the owner before they can bid. Storm-chasers and bad actors don't get near your door.
Written workmanship warranty required
Every pro must put their work in writing. If the job goes bad, it gets fixed — on them, not you.
Reviews from real finished jobs only
Ratings come only from real Onward jobs that were actually finished. No fake reviews — you see the truth before you hire.
Re-checked every year
Passing once isn't enough. We re-run the whole check yearly and remove anyone who slips — so the pro you hire is still safe today.
What does the check protect you from?
No scams
Every roofer is checked, licensed, and background-screened before they reach you. Storm-chasers don't get in.
You're never on the hook
Live insurance is confirmed first. If something goes wrong on the job, you don't pay for it — they do.
Done right
A written warranty and real reviews mean the work holds up. Get it done right the first time — not paid for twice.
Safe today, not just last year
The yearly re-check means the pro you hire is still licensed, insured, and trusted — right now, not back when they joined.
Real checks, by real people.
This isn't a box you tick online. Our team checks licenses, calls insurers, and reads every review from a finished job. See exactly how we do it.
And if a job still goes wrong, we make it right
Every pro is insured and gives a written workmanship warranty. If the work goes bad, it gets fixed — on them, not you. And if you're ever stuck, our team steps in.
