Every day, homeowners make important decisions about repairs, renovations, remodeling projects, insurance claims, home purchases, and preparing their homes for the future — often with little more than a contractor’s proposal and the hope they’re making the right choice.
At Ask A Local Contractor, we believe homeowners deserve something better. We believe you deserve an experienced construction professional who works in your best interest before you commit to a project — someone who can explain the process, review estimates, answer questions, identify potential problems, and help you make informed decisions with confidence.
That is why Ask A Local Contractor was created.
Ask A Local Contractor was founded by Allan Roe, a Florida Certified General Contractor, Florida Certified Underground Utility & Excavation Contractor, Florida Licensed Home Inspector, and Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS). With more than 40 years of construction and project management experience, Allan created Ask A Local Contractor to give homeowners the same level of professional guidance traditionally available only to contractors and construction professionals.
Unlike many companies whose primary objective is to sell construction services, Ask A Local Contractor begins by helping homeowners understand their options.
Whether you need a second opinion on a contractor’s proposal, guidance before purchasing a home, assistance evaluating an insurance repair estimate, someone to represent your interests during a construction project, or advice on making your home safer and more accessible as you age, we provide practical, unbiased guidance based on decades of real-world construction experience.
Whether you’re replacing a door, remodeling a bathroom, building an addition, or planning a major renovation, our advice is tailored to the size and complexity of your project.
The recommendations you receive are backed by decades of hands-on construction and management experience through Allan Roe Contracting. Our founder has more than 40 years of construction and project management experience and holds multiple professional licenses and certifications, including:
CGC15339713
CUC057148
HI370
National Association of Home Builders
These credentials provide the practical knowledge necessary to evaluate construction methods, identify potential concerns, understand project costs, recommend accessibility improvements, and help homeowners confidently navigate every phase of home ownership. Our advice isn’t based on theory. It’s based on decades of building, inspecting, managing, renovating, and solving construction challenges.
Ask A Local Contractor is an independent homeowner advocacy and consulting service operated by Allan Roe Contracting. While the two organizations work together, they serve different purposes — this structure allows us to provide objective consulting while maintaining the construction expertise and professional licensing homeowners expect.
Our responsibility is to provide honest guidance that helps you make the best decision for your home, regardless of who performs the work.
It is where your family lives, where memories are made, and often your largest financial investment. It is also the place where many people hope to live safely and independently for years to come.
To protect your investment, reduce your risk, improve your quality of life, and give you the confidence to make informed decisions about your home — today and for the future.
