How we rank roofers in Philadelphia

Each business is scored on signals we can verify from public data: a live, secure (HTTPS) website, mobile-friendliness, a published phone number and website, and fit with the roofers category. We do not collect or display customer reviews, and we do not accept payment for placement. Businesses can claim their listing to correct contact details, but the rank is fixed by the data. Owners can claim a listing for a Verified badge and a direct link; sponsors appear only in labeled blocks outside the numbered list. Neither changes rank.

Local conditions

Hiring roofers in Philadelphia: what the local data says

  • 52% of occupied homes in Philadelphia are owner-occupied, and 9% of homes are single-family detached houses. Much of the rest is rowhouses, townhouses and apartments, so check shared property lines, HOA or condo rules and any landlord approval before planning outdoor or roof work.
  • The median owner-occupied home in Philadelphia is valued at $253,600, a useful yardstick when weighing what to spend on a major project.
  • Philadelphia gets about 49 inches of precipitation a year and about 20 inches of snow, and July is typically the wettest month. Get a roof or flashing problem fixed ahead of the wettest weeks, and ask a roofer to check gutters and valleys while they are up there.
  • Philadelphia averages about 20 inches of snow a year. Heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles cause ice dams, so ask about ventilation and ice and water shield when comparing roof quotes.

Common questions

Roofers in Philadelphia: quick answers

How are the roofers in Philadelphia ranked?

Each listing is scored on public signals we can check ourselves: whether the website is live and secure (HTTPS), whether it works on a phone, whether a phone number and website are published, and how closely the business matches the roofers category. We do not collect customer reviews, so no star ratings or review counts appear here, and no business pays for placement.

How do I pick the best roofer in Philadelphia?

Use this list to shortlist two or three roofers, then read their Google reviews yourself, confirm license and insurance, and get written estimates before committing. The score here is a filter, not a verdict.

How do I verify a roofer's license in Pennsylvania?

Licensing in Pennsylvania runs through the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act registry. Before hiring anyone in Philadelphia, ask for their PA HIC registration number (it starts with PA) and verify it in the Attorney General's public contractor registry before work begins. Also confirm current liability insurance, and get the license number in writing on the estimate.

Which roofers serve Philadelphia?

This page lists Roof Gurus, Surf & Turf Roofing, Solar and Windows and Reiter Roofing, in ranked order. All of them publish a phone number, so you can call directly.

When is the best time to book roofers in Philadelphia?

Going by Philadelphia's own weather records (typical last spring frost around April 1, first fall frost around November 13), the usual windows are before July, usually the wettest month in Philadelphia. Booking a few weeks ahead of those windows beats the rush.

What to look for when hiring a roofer in Philadelphia

  • Ask for the Home Improvement Contractor registration (a PA number). In Pennsylvania, roofers need it from the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection. Verify it at the official Pennsylvania license lookup before signing. Pennsylvania has no separate roofing license, but roofers must show their PA registration number in all advertising, and nothing should be paid before the contract is signed.
  • Written estimates. Any roofer who won't put the scope in writing is a red flag.
  • Review quality, not just volume. Read the 3-star reviews, they're usually the most honest.
  • Local references. A roofer who's done work in Center City or Northern Liberties will understand local housing stock better than a regional chain.
