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.

Common questions

Roofers in Erie: quick answers

How are the roofers in Erie 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 Erie?

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 Erie, 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 Erie?

This page lists EJ's Roofing Siding & Remodeling and Great Lakes Construction, in ranked order. 1 of the 2 publish a phone number, so you can call those directly; the rest are easiest to reach through their websites.

When is the best time to book roofers in Erie?

Going by Erie's own weather records (typical last spring frost around April 10, first fall frost around November 20), the usual windows are before October, usually the wettest month in Erie. Booking a few weeks ahead of those windows beats the rush.

How to hire a roofer: the 8 questions that actually matter

What to look for when hiring a roofer in Erie

  • 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 Downtown or Frontier will understand local housing stock better than a regional chain.
