A directory built for high-stakes roofing decisions

A new roof is one of the largest home investments most owners ever make, and a bad install can void warranties, leak for years, and tank a future sale. Every contractor in this directory is screened against the same checklist before they're listed.

Licensed & insured verified

Every listed contractor's state license, general liability, and workers' compensation coverage are confirmed before they appear in the directory.

Manufacturer-certified

We prioritize GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster, and Carlisle Authorized Applicator installers.

Local references screened

Contractors must produce verifiable local references from completed jobs in the last 12 months before we publish them.

No upfront deposits to quote

Requesting an estimate is always free. No deposit, no fee, no obligation — compare written, itemized quotes side by side.

Built for risk-sensitive jobs

Roofing is expensive and hard to reverse. We surface the contract terms, warranties, and red flags homeowners actually need before signing.
