Checking the Florida Department of State website (
http://www.tinyurl.com/atwbg ) I see in their Articles of Incorporation
that
their business activity should be limited to "roofing, siding and
gutters."

Hmm. I was under the impression that general contractors in Florida can do
the whole house if they have a roofers license. In fact, the insurance
company strongly urges getting a general contractor so they can handle it
all - roof, carpet, drywall. These people supposedly are a general
contractor.


Additionally, I do NOT find any listing for them as a licensed contractor
on
the DBPR website (what is their license #???)

The following document from myflorida.com gives some good tips (avoid
door-to-door peddlers, etc.)

Most importantly, the contract, by law, should have the contractor's
license
number on it and you should demand a "Certificate of Insurance" from the
contractor's workman's comp and general liablity carrier. Note the carrier
provides it to you directly upon the contractor's request to them.

Are you still seeking repairs from the '04 storms?

Yes.

By the way, for anyone reading this, I appreciate all the input.
