Find a Metal Roofer is free for homeowners. You search, you compare, you contact the companies you like, and you come back to tell other homeowners how it went. Nobody at the directory earns a commission on your roof, and the only paid places in your results, the Diamond, Ruby and Emerald Sponsor spots, are always labeled.
Start with a search
Type a zip code, city or state into the search box on the directory page. The search opens a map with the top five companies for your ZIP code: the Diamond, Ruby and Emerald Sponsors and the companies with the best reputation score nearby. The reputation score combines homeowner reviews here, the public review record we keep for every company, years in business, and whether the owner has claimed and verified the listing; a company that fits the service and roof type you asked for ranks higher. A sponsor only takes a sponsor place when it serves your area and fits your search, and paying never changes a score. State and city pages list every company if you would rather browse. You can also open your state page from the home page and drill down to a city.
Filters narrow the list by company type (installer, fabricator, manufacturer, supplier, roll former dealer or consultant), by roof style, by metal and by market, such as residential, commercial or agricultural. Most homeowners want an installer who works on houses near them, so start there and widen the search only if the list is short. A roof style you have not heard of is a reason to read its guide, not to skip it.
Compare listings
Every listing uses the same layout so companies are easy to compare: an about section, services, the roof styles and metals the company offers, its service area on a map, year founded, the license and insurance details the company has entered, photos, and reviews from homeowners. Companies write their own listings. Before a new listing is published we check that it describes a real metal roofing business and follows the listing guidelines, but we do not inspect anyone’s work.
Things worth checking on any listing:
- A license number you can look up with your state or local licensing board, where your state requires one.
- Insurance stated on the listing, which you should confirm with a current certificate before work starts.
- The styles and metals you are considering, since many companies specialize.
- Photos of finished roofs that look like the company’s own jobs rather than catalog images.
- Reviews with specifics, and how the owner responds to the critical ones.
What the Verified badge means
A listing marked Verified means we have confirmed the business contact. We reached the company through the phone number or email on the listing and confirmed that the person managing it speaks for the business. It does not mean we have checked a license, visited a job or guaranteed the work. Think of it as proof that the listing is in the right hands, not a seal of approval. A listing without the badge may simply be one that nobody has claimed yet, or one we have not finished checking.
How reviews work
Reviews come from homeowners and other customers with a free account. You need to be logged in to write one, you can leave one review per company, and each review is held for a moderator before it appears. We publish positive and negative reviews alike as long as they follow the review guidelines: first-hand experience, specific details, no incentives and no personal attacks. The company that owns the listing can post a public response, which appears under your review and is labeled as the owner’s response. If a review looks fake or abusive, use the report link on the listing and a moderator will look at it.
Getting quotes
We do not sell your contact details to contractors. You reach companies directly through the phone number and website on their listing, or through the quote request form, which sends your message to that company alone. Ask at least three companies for a written bid on the same scope so you can compare them line by line. A complete bid names the metal and gauge, the panel profile and seam type, the paint finish and its warranty, the underlayment, whether the old roof is removed, all flashings and trim, ventilation, snow retention or gutters if you need them, the permit, the schedule, the payment terms and the workmanship warranty. Our guides on choosing a contractor and metal roof cost go deeper.
The short version
- Enter your ZIP code, the service and the roof type, and look at the top five on the map.
- Compare listings, read the reviews and check license and insurance details yourself.
- Contact two or three companies, get written bids on the same scope and compare them line by line.
- Hire the one that earns it, and come back to leave a review when the roof is on.
Your account
You only need an account to write a review. Creating one is free and takes a minute at the join page, and your email address is never shown publicly. Companies use the same kind of account to add or claim a listing; the network page explains that side. Questions we have not answered here are probably in the FAQ.
