Latest update · June 13, 2026: Initial ranking published. 22 Birmingham-metro roofing contractors evaluated, top 10 ranked by Vetted Score.

A roof is the most expensive thing on your house you never think about. Until it leaks. Then you are making a five-figure decision in a hurry, usually right after a storm, surrounded by door-knockers who showed up that same afternoon.

So we ranked Birmingham's roofers ahead of time. We pulled every contractor we could verify across the metro and scored them on what customers actually reported: the Google rating, and how many people bothered to leave one. Storm-chasers come and go. The companies below have hundreds of reviews and years behind them.

Methodology

How we evaluated all 22 roofing contractors.

We started with every roofing contractor operating in the Birmingham metro, 22 in this round, pulled from public maps data and company websites. Each one runs through the same six-factor framework we use in every market. Nobody pays to be listed, ranked, or removed.

Scores reflect our June 2026 pass, weighted toward rating quality and the depth of real reviews. A 5.0 from nine reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from 900. We re-run the numbers monthly.

The Vetted Score: six weighted factors

Customer sentiment25%
Rating quality20%
Review volume & velocity20%
Website trust signals15%
Service breadth10%
Business longevity10%

Sentiment is measured by AI analysis of review text, recency-weighted, with verified-pattern checks to discount suspicious review bursts.

Green Valley Roofing & Construction

★★★★★5.0(491 reviews)
95Score

Green Valley sits at a perfect 5.0 across 491 reviews, the deepest spotless rating in Birmingham roofing. Reviewers keep using the same word: communication. They show you the photos, tell you what is wrong, and finish when they said they would. A review base that deep is hard to game, and the score barely moves across it, which is the clearest consistency signal we track. Most of what reviewers hire it for is full roof replacement, which is where it has built its reputation. It works across Homewood and greater Birmingham, with a free inspection, and the main trade-offs are books out during peak storm season and not the cheapest bid on the street.

Pros

  • Perfect 5.0 across 491 reviews, the most of any 5-star roofer here
  • Reviewers praise clear communication and clean job sites
  • Central Homewood base, full metro coverage

Cons

  • Books out during peak storm season
  • Not the cheapest bid on the street

Elite Roofing LLC

★★★★★5.0(205 reviews)
93Score

Elite holds a 5.0 across 205 reviews from a Perimeter Park office. The thing reviewers mention most is the no-pressure quote, which is rare in a trade built on urgency. A review base that deep is hard to game, and the score barely moves across it, which is the clearest consistency signal we track. Its clear sweet spot is value replacements and insurance work, and that focus is part of why sentiment stays high. It serves Birmingham, US-280 corridor, with a free quote, and the honest trade-offs are smaller crew than the volume leaders and quote required, no published rates.

Pros

  • Perfect 5.0 across 205 reviews
  • Reviewers cite fair, no-pressure pricing
  • Helps with insurance claims

Cons

  • Smaller crew than the volume leaders
  • Quote required, no published rates

Hyde Roofing

★★★★★5.0(179 reviews)
92Score

Hyde keeps a 5.0 across 179 reviews from the same Perimeter Park area. A steady, detail-first shop that reviewers trust with both quick repairs and full jobs. That is a substantial body of feedback for a local operator, enough to trust the rating rather than credit a lucky streak. The jobs it gets praised for most are repairs and mid-size jobs, a sign it sticks to what it does well. Coverage spans Birmingham metro, with quote-based pricing; before you book, weigh modest review volume and east-side lean.

Pros

  • Perfect 5.0 across 179 reviews
  • Handles repairs and replacements
  • Detail-oriented crews

Cons

  • Modest review volume
  • East-side lean

Alabama Roofing Professionals

★★★★★4.9(334 reviews)
91Score

A 4.9 across 334 reviews, the largest base in the near-perfect group. They take the unglamorous repair calls as readily as the big replacements. A review base that deep is hard to game, and the score barely moves across it, which is the clearest consistency signal we track. It leans toward all-round roofing, and the steadiness reviewers describe tracks with that specialization. Expect service across Eastwood and metro, with a free estimate. The caveats worth knowing are 4.9 rather than a clean 5.0 and often booked.

Pros

  • 4.9 across 334 reviews
  • Deep enough base to trust at scale
  • Repairs and replacements both

Cons

  • 4.9 rather than a clean 5.0
  • Often booked

Brewer Roofing & Construction

★★★★★5.0(144 reviews)
90Score

Brewer posts a 5.0 across 144 reviews from the Southbridge area. Smaller and newer to this list, and climbing fast on the strength of personal service. That is a substantial body of feedback for a local operator, enough to trust the rating rather than credit a lucky streak. In practice it is strongest on roofing plus repairs, and its reviews lean that way rather than spreading across unrelated work. It works across South metro, with quote-based pricing, and the main trade-offs are smaller review base and capacity fills quickly.

Pros

  • Perfect 5.0 across 144 reviews
  • Roofing plus general construction
  • Personal, owner-led service

Cons

  • Smaller review base
  • Capacity fills quickly

Cardinal Roofing

★★★★★4.8(950 reviews)

They have run more storm and insurance claims than anyone here, with crews ready the day after hail hits. A review base that deep is hard to game, and the score barely moves across it, which is the clearest consistency signal we track. Most of what reviewers hire it for is storm and insurance claims, which is where it has built its reputation.

Blue Angels runs a 4.8 across 438 reviews from the northeast metro. A solid, high-volume option for Center Point and the 35215 side of town. A review base that deep is hard to game, and the score barely moves across it, which is the clearest consistency signal we track. Its clear sweet spot is northeast metro roofing, and that focus is part of why sentiment stays high.

Reeder Roofing LLC

★★★★★4.9(147 reviews)

Reeder posts a 4.9 across 147 reviews from an Oxmoor base. A tidy mid-size shop reviewers describe as honest and on time. That is a substantial body of feedback for a local operator, enough to trust the rating rather than credit a lucky streak. The jobs it gets praised for most are repairs and mid-size jobs, a sign it sticks to what it does well. Expect service across Homewood, Oxmoor, with quote-based pricing.

A review base that deep is hard to game, and the score barely moves across it, which is the clearest consistency signal we track. It leans toward hoover-area roofing, and the steadiness reviewers describe tracks with that specialization. It works across Hoover, SW metro, with a free estimate, and the main trade-offs are 4.8 rating and quote required.

Before you book

How to choose a roofer in Birmingham

The rating gets you a shortlist. These four checks tell you who to actually call:

License, insurance, and bond

Ask for the license number plus proof of liability and workers' comp before anyone climbs up. If they dodge the question, that is your answer.

Manufacturer certification

GAF Master Elite or Owens Corning Preferred means the manufacturer vetted the crew and will back a longer warranty. Only a small slice of roofers hold the top tiers. Ask.

Repair vs. replacement honesty

A good roofer will tell you when a $600 repair buys five more years instead of pushing a full tear-off. Get that in writing, with photos of the real damage.

Watch the post-storm crews

Out-of-town teams flood the metro after every hail event. Favor a local address and a review history that goes back years, not one that appeared last week.

What it costs

What a roof costs in Birmingham

Rough ranges across this ranking:

Minor repair$350 to $1,200 for a leak, flashing, or a small section of shingles.
Full replacement, asphalt shingle$8,000 to $18,000 for a typical Birmingham home, depending on size, pitch, and how many layers come off.
Metal or premium roof$20,000 to $45,000 and up. Lasts decades, costs more up front.
Storm or insurance jobOften just your deductible. A good roofer documents the damage and works your claim with the adjuster.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a new roof cost in Birmingham?

A typical asphalt-shingle replacement runs $8,000 to $18,000 depending on size and pitch. Repairs start around $350. Metal and premium roofs run $20,000 and up. Get two or three written bids before you sign.

My roof was hit by a storm. What do I do first?

Document the damage with photos, call your insurer to open a claim, then bring in a local roofer with a long review history to inspect and meet the adjuster. Avoid signing with the first out-of-town crew that knocks.

Repair or full replacement?

If the roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized, a repair often makes sense. Past that, repeated repairs usually cost more than a replacement. A good roofer shows you photos and gives you the honest call.

How often is this ranking updated?
