Independent measurement · July 2026
The roofers AI actually recommends.
Homeowners don't just search anymore — they ask AI who to see. So we measured the answer. We asked for the best roofer in 34 U.S. metros, 4 different ways each — 136 checks in all — and recorded every company it named.
Only 27%
of the 2,179 U.S. roofers we benchmarked ever came up. These are the ones homeowners are told to see.

The most recommended roofers, metro by metro
Every metro below was benchmarked the same way: 4 homeowner-style questions, every answer recorded. Pick your city to see the full measured list.
AI's answer moves between checks, so we publish how many of the 4 checks named each one instead of a rank that would change if we asked again.

Measured, never sold.
No roofer can pay to appear on these lists. A company is listed only because AI actually recommended it when we asked — more than once. We publish how many of the checks named each one, not a place, because the count holds up when we ask again and a place doesn't. That's the whole formula.
Read the full methodologyCommon questions
How did you measure which U.S. roofers AI recommends?
We asked leading AI assistants the questions real homeowners ask — like "Who is the best roofer near me?" — 4 different ways, and recorded every company recommended. Each company on this list was named in more than one of those answers, and we publish how many named it rather than a place in a ranking — ask AI again and the top name often changes, but the count holds. We ran 136 checks for this market and compared the answers against the 2,179 U.S. companies in our dataset.
Can a roofer pay to be on this list?
No. This list is measured, never sold. A company appears on it only if AI actually recommended it when we asked. Money cannot buy a place on this list. Sponsored blocks are labeled advertising and sit outside the ranked list.
What does it mean if a company is NOT on this list?
It means that when we asked leading AI assistants for a roofer in U.S., that company never came up. That says nothing about the quality of their work — only that homeowners who ask AI for a recommendation are being sent somewhere else. Most companies haven't shown up in AI answers yet, so the list is short.
How often is this updated?
We re-run the same benchmark quarterly with the same methodology, so companies that improve their AI visibility can appear in the next update. This edition was measured in July 2026.
Are you a U.S. roofer?
If your company isn't on these lists, homeowners who ask AI for a roofer are being sent to someone else. Find out where you stand — free.
