Pittsburgh's hilly, 19th-century housing stock keeps trades busy: retaining walls, slate roofs, old plumbing. Roofing contractors handle repair, replacement, and inspection for residential and commercial roofs, asphalt, metal, flat, and specialty materials.
We indexed 5 roofers serving Pittsburgh and surrounding neighborhoods, including Downtown, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, South Side, Lawrenceville, Oakland.

How we rank roofers in Pittsburgh
Each business is scored on signals we can verify from public data: a live, secure (HTTPS) website, mobile-friendliness, a published phone number and website, and fit with the roofers category. 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. Owners can claim a listing for a Verified badge and a direct link; sponsors appear only in labeled blocks outside the numbered list. Neither changes rank.
What to look for when hiring a roofer in Pittsburgh
- 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 Shadyside will understand local housing stock better than a regional chain.
