A roof replacement returns about 67.5% of its cost at resale (2025 Cost vs. Value Report), but the bigger value is protection — catching failure early avoids the far more expensive structural and water damage that follows once leaks start.
Below you’ll find project pricing by roofing type, our top-ranked roofing contractors, and answers to the most common questions. Not sure if you need a full replacement? See the signs your roof needs replacing, compare roofing materials, or check the full cost guide.

These companies are ordered by their real customer rating, taken from public review platforms and dated when we recorded it. It is not an editorial score and not a ranking of build quality — most ratings describe a single branch listing, so read the scope note on each company’s review page before comparing.
Best Choice Roofing specializes in roofing only, with real strength in insurance-claim navigation and Owens Corning Platinum Preferred certification. Customer experiences run the gamut from smooth, same-day insurance-assisted replacements to detailed complaints about post-install leaks and slow callbacks, so get any leak/warranty response-time commitment in writing at signing. Because they're roofing-only, homeowners bundling multiple exterior projects will need a separate contractor for the rest.
Long Home Products has served the East Coast for 65+ years across bath, roofing, and windows, and reviews are strongest on crew professionalism and cleanup once a job is underway. Their marketing outreach is active — if you're not currently in the market, let them know directly and ask to be removed from their contact list.
Home Genius Exteriors holds Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status (top 1% of contractors) plus James Hardie Elite and CertainTeed 5-Star certifications, and reviews back up the credentials — homeowners repeatedly single out their dedicated project managers for staying in touch throughout the job. Crews are described as fast and considerate of property across windows, roofing, siding, and gutters, not just one specialty. Their promotional "50% off materials" offer explicitly excludes windows and doors — confirm what's actually included before you count on it.
Power Home Remodeling is one of the largest multi-trade exterior remodelers in the country (windows, roofing, siding, doors, gutters), using a "blind pricing" model and their own Project Pulse app to track your job. Reviews consistently praise crew professionalism and finished quality; the most common real feedback is about the door-to-door sales approach itself, which is simply how they generate most leads — you're free to schedule a consultation on your own timeline instead.
Victory Home Remodeling is both the manufacturer and installer for its roofing and siding products in the NJ/NY/PA/DE/MD corridor, which real customers cite as a reason for trusting the finished result — one company accountable start to finish rather than a sales layer over a third-party installer. Reviews consistently describe crews as professional and respectful of property, and the GAF Master Elite designation (top 2% of GAF-certified contractors) backs their roofing warranty.
Pinnacle Home Improvement is a Southeast roofing and windows specialist (GA/TN/NC/AL/FL) with reviews praising fast, clean, professional installer crews and hands-on help navigating storm insurance claims. As with Long Home, if you've already decided against a purchase, ask directly to be taken off their follow-up call list.
Erie Home specializes in stone-coated steel roofing — a heavier-duty alternative to asphalt shingles with a 50-year transferable warranty — and reviews back up their one-day installation claim even on large roofs, with repeated praise for thorough cleanup. Metal roofing costs more upfront than asphalt shingles; the tradeoff is longevity and storm resistance, which matters most in hail- or wind-prone regions.
FHIA Remodeling has been a Florida-focused remodeler for 50+ years and recently became part of the Renuity national platform (some listings now show as "Renuity of South Florida") — a regional brand within a national platform, similar to Mad City in the Midwest. Reviews are strongest on their impact-window and roofing installation quality; as with any brand transitioning into a larger platform, get warranty terms confirmed in writing since contract language can shift during a rebrand.
Hansons is a Great Lakes multi-trade specialist running its own in-house crews across windows, roofing, and siding, backed by a four-tier Smart Choice warranty system (only the top Smart Choice tier carries the full Lifetime Guarantee — ask which tier your quote includes). Customer reviews consistently describe the sales process as informative rather than pushy, and installation crews are frequently praised for speed on same-day multi-window jobs. Hansons is also an exclusive ProVia siding dealer in its markets, which is worth asking about if you're bundling projects.
Clear Choice markets itself across New England and Pennsylvania, but our own lead-routing data shows their most consistently active market concentrated around Harrisburg, PA — a regional specialist, not a national company. Reviews reflect a company accountable for a tight footprint: crews are praised for communication and clean installs on siding, gutter, and roofing work. Their fiber cement expertise includes James Hardie certification, and they offer detailed written estimates with itemized material and labor breakdowns. Confirm your specific ZIP is in their active service area before requesting a quote.
DaBella is a GAF Master Elite and James Hardie Elite Preferred contractor offering roofing, siding, and windows with financing connected through unaffiliated third-party lenders (DaBella itself doesn't originate the loan). Independent review platforms show a wide range depending on where in the customer journey the review was left — ratings skew highest at the initial in-home consultation stage and are more mixed once you look past that first impression, which is worth knowing going in. Get the full warranty terms and financing APR in writing before signing, and don't feel pressured to decide in a single visit.
Homefix Custom Remodeling is a GAF Master Elite contractor (100% Lifetime Guarantee eligible) focused on the Mid-Atlantic, and long-tenured customers — some 10–20 years in — specifically cite durability holding up over time. As with several door-to-door-marketed regional contractors, be direct about your preferred contact method during the initial outreach if you'd rather schedule by phone or online.
Lednor Home Solutions is the regional Gutter Helmet dealer for Maryland, DC, and Virginia, and reviews consistently praise punctual, clean installation crews. A recurring, fair theme in reviews is scheduling speed for repair/warranty service calls — ask about typical response time for service requests before you sign.

Illustrative photography of this kind of installation — not photographs of jobs booked through us. Treat them as a reference for finish, scale and the visible components of the job, rather than a portfolio of work our partners completed. Your written quote should list the specification, not just images.
Homeowners search for roofers, roofing contractors, roof repair and roof replacement at very different moments, and the gap between repair and replacement is where most of the money and most of the bad advice sits.
Roof repair addresses a defined problem — a leak, storm damage to one slope, failed flashing. It is appropriate when the roof has meaningful life left. Roof replacement is appropriate when the shingles are at the end of their service life, there is widespread granule loss, or a repair would be patching a system that is going to fail anyway.
Beware of a quick jump straight to replacement after a storm, particularly from a company that arrived uninvited. Ask any roofing company to photograph the damage they are describing and to state plainly why a repair would not hold.
If you are filing a claim, one detail matters more than any other: on a replacement-cost policy the first insurance check is intentionally partial, because the insurer withholds recoverable depreciation until the work is finished and invoiced. That first cheque is not the settlement, and mistaking it for one is how people end up underinsured on their own roof.
