Roofers Directory
Roofing is a high-ticket, hard-to-inspect trade — most homeowners can't see the work being done and won't know it was done wrong until the next heavy rain. We score roofers on licensing and workers' compensation coverage, manufacturer certifications, the depth and recency of reviews around warranty claims and leak follow-up, and the kind of written, detailed scope that holds up long after the crew leaves.
Roofers by city
Ranked shortlists for roofers are rolling out city by city. In the meantime, here's exactly what we look for — and what to avoid — so you can vet one yourself with confidence.
Coming soon: Vancouver, Surrey, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Seattle.
What we look for in a roofer

- A detailed written scope — materials, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and cleanup
- A workmanship warranty in writing, separate from the material warranty
- Reviews that mention honoured warranties and fast leak follow-up
