Hansons

★★★★★ 4.4 [Google (4,230 reviews)](https://www.google.com/maps/search/Hansons) as of August 2026

Great Lakes multi-trade veteran. In-house roofing crews with 25+ years of regional experience.

![Remy](/images/remy/face-6aa3719e.png) Remy's Take

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.

Home Genius Exteriors

★★★★★ 4.8 [Google (2,377 reviews)](https://www.google.com/maps/search/Home+Genius+Exteriors) as of August 2026

Highest-rated multi-trade exterior contractor. Full roofing + siding + windows from one company.

![Remy](/images/remy/face-6aa3719e.png) Remy's Take

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.

Erie Home

★★★★★ 4.5 [Google (1,400+ reviews)](https://www.google.com/search?q=Erie+Home+reviews+google+rating) as of August 2026

Stone-coated metal roofing specialist. 34+ states, 50-year transferable warranty, $0 down financing.

![Remy](/images/remy/face-6aa3719e.png) Remy's Take

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.

Homefix Custom Remodeling

★★★★★ 4.3 [Google (671 reviews)](https://www.google.com/search?q=Homefix+Custom+Remodeling+google+rating) as of August 2026

GAF Master Elite since 1990. 100% Lifetime Guarantee on roofing, gutters, siding in Mid-Atlantic.

![Remy](/images/remy/face-6aa3719e.png) Remy's Take

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.

## Why Does Roof Replacement Cost What It Does in Richmond?

Installed cost in Richmond runs roughly **3% below** the national average for this trade. That figure is not a cost-of-living index — it is built from Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data for the Richmond, VA metro area, weighted by the roughly **22%** of a roof replacement job that is labor rather than material.

Local trade wages sit about **14% below** the national figure, but the installed price moves less than that, because material ships at national prices no matter where you live. This is why a quote from a high-wage metro is rarely as far above the national average as people expect — and why a suspiciously cheap quote in an expensive market is worth a second look.
