Homeowner guides
Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask before they hire a roofer. One Good Roofer is a free homeowner matching service, not a roofing contractor.
Before you hire
How do I find a good roofer?
How to vet a roofing company yourself: license lookup, insurance certificate, a written estimate with line items, manufacturer certification, local references and the red flags to walk away from.
What are the alternatives to Angi for roof quotes?
How shared quote sites like Angi and Thumbtack work for homeowners, and the other ways to get a roof quote: calling local roofers, manufacturer contractor finders, or a one-roofer matching service.
How can I get a roof quote without getting spam calls?
Practical steps to get a roof quote without a flood of calls: read the consent line before you submit, call roofers directly, limit who gets your number, and how to stop calls you no longer want.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
When a roof repair is enough and when a full replacement makes more sense: the age of the roof, how much of it is damaged, leaks, granule loss, and what a replacement typically costs.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?
General information on when a homeowners policy may pay toward a roof: the cause of the damage, your deductible, and actual cash value vs replacement cost. Not insurance advice. Check your policy.
How we vet roofers
The four things every roofer One Good Roofer places must meet: a real roofing business that is currently operating, a Google Business Profile, insured and bonded, and one company per area that keeps the spot by performing.
