What a quote should cover

What happens when you send a request?

A local roofing contractor gets your request and will call, text or email to set up a visit. They look at the roof, and you get a quote for the job.

Say what you see: shingles in the yard after a storm, a brown stain on the bedroom ceiling, dents on the vents after hail. Add a photo if you can.

Sioux Falls Roofing is an independent guide. It does no roofing work and does not check the roofer for you. That part is yours. Two phone calls.

What should a roofing quote in Sioux Falls cover?

The work, line by line. A price alone tells you nothing about what goes on your roof, so ask for each of these in writing before anyone carries a bundle of shingles up the ladder:

  • Tear-off and layers. Whether the old shingles come off to the deck, and how many layers are up there now. The model building code does not allow a new layer over a roof that already has two or more. Confirm how the city applies it with Sioux Falls Building Services at 605-367-8670 before you count on a roof-over.
  • Underlayment and ice barrier. The city’s building code table marks Sioux Falls as an area where ice barrier underlayment is required. Under the model code, that barrier runs from the eave to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall. The quote should name it.
  • Flashing. Whether the metal around the chimney, vents and walls gets replaced or reused.
  • Permit. Reshingling a house in Sioux Falls needs a city permit, a flat $40 under the 2026 fee schedule. State law has the contractor post its excise tax license number with the permit.
  • Warranty. What the roofer covers on workmanship and for how long, plus what the shingle maker covers. Both belong on paper.
  • Payment. The total, what would add to it, and when each payment is due. The Attorney General’s office advises against paying in full before the job is done.

How do you check a roofing contractor in Sioux Falls?

Ask for two licenses and check both.

Inside city limits, shingling a house takes a city license: the Residential Roofing and Repair license or the broader Residential Building Contractor license. The roofing license dates from February 2024. To hold it, a contractor passes a city exam, posts a $20,000 compliance bond and carries $300,000 in liability insurance. The city does not accept other states’ licenses in its place.

Every contractor in South Dakota also needs a state contractor’s excise tax license. The state does not license roofers, so this is a tax registration. It says nothing about skill.

The city posts its list of licensed contractors online, and licensing answers questions at 605-367-8670. Before you sign, check the roofer’s licenses and know your cancellation rights.

How many roofing companies work in Sioux Falls?

Census counted 29 roofing contractors with employees in the Sioux Falls metro in 2023, and 18 of them had fewer than five people. One-person crews are not counted at all. The city’s license list also includes roofers based in other states.

Most roofers here are small shops. Ask who will actually be on your roof.

Can a roofer offer to pay your deductible?

No. South Dakota bars residential roofers from advertising or promising to pay or rebate any part of an insurance deductible, and a contract that breaks the rule is void (SDCL 37-24-50). Read how roof insurance claims work in South Dakota before you file.

Which towns can you request a roofer in?

Sioux Falls and the towns around it, on both the Minnehaha and Lincoln County sides. Each town sets its own contractor rules. Brandon’s posted code lets a current Sioux Falls contractor license stand in for its own exam.

Rules in Harrisburg and Tea were not confirmed for this page, so call the city office there before work starts. Start with the full list of towns covered, or go to roofing in Brandon, Harrisburg or Tea.

Questions about roofing contractors in Sioux Falls

Is Sioux Falls Roofing a roofing company?

No. It is an independent guide and quote-request site that does no roofing work. Tell us about the job and a local roofing contractor will call, text or email to set up a visit.

Yes, inside city limits. Shingling a house takes the city’s Residential Roofing and Repair license or a Residential Building Contractor license, and the state excise tax license does not count in their place.

The contractor pulls it under its city license, or you can pull it yourself as the homeowner. Residential reshingling is a flat $40 under the 2026 fee schedule.

The BBB serving Minnesota and North Dakota suggested three written estimates in June 2026. Compare tear-off, ice barrier, flashing and warranty line by line.

Yes, in some cases. A written storm damage roofing contract can be cancelled within 72 hours of signing, or within 72 hours of your insurer denying the claim in whole or in part (SDCL 37-24-51).
