US roofing contractor market, mapped
Largest Roofing Contractors in the US: 110,000 Establishments, Top 10 Hold Under 1%
By US location count, the 10 largest roofing brands run roughly 785 of 110,000 contractor establishments. The typical US roofer owns 1 to 3 trucks and is the person who climbs the ladder.

held by the top 10 brands
The 10 largest US roofing brands run roughly 785 locations against a Census universe of 110,000 establishments. The most fragmented home-services vertical we map.
independent operators
Around 108,000 of 110,000 US roofing establishments operate outside any national or regional chain. Most run 1 to 3 trucks and 3 to 12 crew members.
in Texas, Florida, and California
Texas (10.9%), Florida (8.6%), and California (7.7%) hold roughly 27 percent of US roofing locations. Storm cycles, hail belts, and reroof age curves do the rest.

Methodology
Why our count moves and the published estimates do not.
Two count layers are stacked on this page. The hero number, 110,000 establishments, comes from the US Census Bureau's NAICS 238160 release. The chain-share math and state breakdown come from Orbital's location-by-location map of active customer-facing roofing operators (~74,900 locations as of June 2026), classified into the Roofing, Siding and Exteriors market. Both layers are real. They measure different things.
How the numbers on this page are built
- Anchor the universe in Census. The 110,000 hero figure is the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns count for NAICS 238160 Roofing Contractors, 2023. It is the most defensible single number for the size of the US roofing trade. It lines up with the BLS roofing-occupation employment estimate of roughly 138,000 wage-and-salary roofers, which implies an average of just over one roofer per establishment, consistent with a long-tail trade.
- Drop the SEO-front aggregators. Residential roofing is the most aggregator-polluted SEO vertical in America. A naive top-25 list pulled from public web data includes domains like roofingrepairguy.com, essentialroofingguys.com, and roofingbuilttolast.com, generic SEO-front aggregators with no LinkedIn, no corporate entity, no real crew. We drop them before ranking.
- Roll up the parents, carefully. Erie Construction Midwest now operates as Erie Home (the parent rebranded the dealer network in 2022). Tecta America Commercial Roofing is a sub-brand of Tecta America. The Sears Appliance Repair listing in some public datasets is not roofing, just a national home-services brand that includes minor roof repair in its menu. We collapse, rename, or drop.
- Add the public-source missing rows. A pure web-crawl misses several major operators that have a smaller local SEO footprint than their business warrants: Window World (~200 dealers, exteriors-led with a meaningful roof book), Power Home Remodeling (~50 locations, residential exterior remodeler), Roofing Corp of America (~30 locations, Trinity Hunt portfolio), Flynn Group (~40 US offices, Canadian commercial roofer), and Kodiak Roofing (~15 commercial roofing locations, Bridge Industries portfolio).
- Find the owner. Roughly 98 percent of US roofing establishments are independent operators. Most owners do not have a polished LinkedIn profile. We find them by name, with a verified email and a direct dial, the same way we find owners across every long-tail trade.
- Refresh on a rolling schedule. June 2026 is the snapshot quoted on this page. Roofing is the most weather-volatile trade we map: counts move in the 90 days after a major hurricane or hail event as storm-chasers register entities, run insurance restoration jobs, and exit again. Census refreshes annually with an 18-to-24-month lag, which works for sizing the universe and does not work for prospecting.

Top 15 states account for roughly 65 percent of Orbital's mapped US roofing locations. Source: Orbital classifier, market Roofing, Siding and Exteriors, June 2026 snapshot. State shares hold within 1 to 2 points of Census NAICS 238160 by state.
The top ten brands
Largest US roofing contractors by location count.
Yard signs are loud. The math is quiet. Ten brands, roughly 785 locations, 0.71 percent of the US roofing trade. The remaining 99.29 percent belongs to chains outside the top 10, regional storm-restoration banners, and the deep long tail of 1-to-3-truck independents.
| # | Brand | US locations | Parent / note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Window World | ~200 | Privately held dealer franchise (windows, siding, roofing). Roofing is the secondary product line for most dealers; meaningful contribution at the network level. Public-source count. |
| 2 | Mighty Dog Roofing | 91 | HorsePower Brands franchise, founded 2020. Fastest-growing residential roofing franchise in the US by unit count. |
| 3 | Erie Home | 85 | Formerly Erie Construction Midwest; rebranded the dealer network as Erie Home in 2022. Metal roofing and exteriors, dealer-operated. |
| 4 | Best Choice Roofing | 80 | Privately held. Insurance-restoration roofer with concentration across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. |
| 5 | Centimark | 73 | Privately held by the Winkler family. The largest commercial flat-roof contractor in North America by revenue. |
| 6 | DaBella | 62 | Privately held. Pacific Northwest-anchored residential exteriors (roofing, windows, siding, baths). |
| 7 | Tecta America | 60 | Altas Partners portfolio (acquired 2018). Commercial roofing roll-up of ~80 acquired family operators since 2000. |
| 8 | Power Home Remodeling | ~50 | Privately held. Largest residential exterior remodeler in the US by revenue; vinyl siding, windows, roofing. Public-source count. |
| 9 | Aspen Contracting | 44 | Privately held. Storm restoration and insurance-claim roofing, headquartered in Kansas. |
| 10 | Flynn Group | ~40 | Privately held, Canadian-headquartered. Largest commercial roofing contractor in North America by revenue; meaningful US office footprint. Public-source count. |

As of June 2026, US open locations. Counts marked with ~ are public-source estimates for operators where a pure web-crawl misses the footprint. Six generic SEO-front aggregator entries and three sister-vertical brands have been removed from the underlying top-25 web pull before ranking.
Our take
Roofing is the most aggregator-polluted SEO vertical in America.
We believe
The actual industry is 110,000 contractor establishments where the biggest privately held residential operator runs maybe 50 locations. That is 0.045 percent concentration.
Residential roofing is the most aggregator-polluted SEO vertical in America. A naive top-25 list pulled from public web data has 6 generic SEO-front domains that exist only to capture roofer-near-me search traffic. They have no LinkedIn presence, no corporate identity, no employee count. The actual industry is 110,000 contractor establishments where the biggest privately held residential operator (Power Home Remodeling) runs maybe 50 locations, which is 0.045 percent concentration. If you sell roofing software (drone inspection, insurance estimating, shop management), your TAM is 100,000-plus independents where the typical operator owns 1 to 3 trucks and 3 to 12 crew members.
That gap matters when you choose your motion. If you build pipeline only off the public majors, you skip 100,000 buyers with a license, a truck, and a checkbook. The long-tail map is the same sales conversation, 100,000 times, with a new name on the door. Roofing is where the asymmetry is widest and where the SERP lies hardest to anyone using web crawls as their data source.
Who buys this data
B2B vendors selling into 110,000 roofing crews.
This page is for the teams selling into roofing contractors, not the contractors themselves. If you ship one of the categories below, the long-tail map is what your AE team has been asking for.
Roofing shop management platforms
JobNimbus, AccuLynx, Roofr, RoofSnap, Leap, Dataforma, and the next wave of CRM-plus-estimating tools selling the upgrade off paper estimates and a desktop scheduler.
Drone and aerial measurement
EagleView, Hover, Roofr Measurements, Pictometry, DroneDeploy, and the imaging providers selling the next subscription seat to a salesman who still climbs the ladder with a tape measure.
Material distribution and manufacturers
ABC Supply, Beacon Building Products, SRS Distribution, Allied Building Products, GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and the regional yards selling the next pallet of shingles and the next box of nails.
Insurance estimating and Xactimate tooling
Symbility, CoreLogic Xactimate, Xactanalysis, Verisk, and the supplement-and-claim tools selling to storm-restoration roofers whose entire margin lives in the adjuster relationship.
Marketing, SEO, and lead-gen
Roofing Insights, Hook Agency, Roofer Marketers, and the agency layer selling websites, Local Service Ads management, and Angi-style lead programs to operators who built their books on referrals.
Financing, lending, and M&A
Equipment lenders, consumer-financing partners (GreenSky, Sunlight, Wisetack), and the search funds that have spent two years building Rolodex against the 100,000 independents. The owner contact is the asset.
Fleet, payments, and back-office
Fleet telematics, residential-progress payments, and the back-office stack that lets a 5-truck shop run like a 30-truck one. The owner signs the contract.
Adjacent universes built the same way: the market insights index, the broader by-industry email lists, the sister HVAC email list, the largest HVAC companies in the US, and the largest pest control companies map for the trades family.
Plain-spoken
When the roofing dataset is the wrong fit.
Do not buy this if any of the following are true.
You only sell to the public commercial-roofing tier. If your motion is one annual contract with Centimark, Tecta America, and Flynn Group, you do not need a long-tail map of 110,000 establishments. You need five strong relationships and an account manager who can drive to Pittsburgh. Save your budget.
You sell to homeowners directly. Consumer roofing lead-gen, end-user financing apps, and residential service marketplaces want a different set, the homeowner database, not B2B contractor contacts.
Your sales motion only fires above $100k ACV. The 100,000 independents will not fit your unit economics. A 3-truck operator with $1.2 million in annual revenue rarely writes a six-figure annual check on day one. Call us when an enterprise-only motion stalls and you need a mid-market overlay.
You need real-time license status. State contractor license boards publish that, with appeal periods and reinstatement windows that move daily. We refresh monthly, which is the right cadence for prospecting and the wrong cadence for compliance gatekeeping.
The honest version
Why most roofing contractor data is wrong.
If you Google "largest roofing contractors in the US," the top results are split between generalist databases that mostly count revenue (Statista, IBISWorld), trade-press articles that rank by self-reported revenue (Roofing Contractor magazine's Top 100, RPS rankings), and aggregator domains that exist only to harvest "roofer near me" search traffic and resell the leads. None of the three give you a clean prospecting list.
The trade-press revenue lens flatters commercial operators because commercial flat-roof work prices per square foot at a multiple of residential reroof. Centimark, Tecta America, and Flynn Group sit at the top of every revenue ranking. They run a combined 173 US locations against a market of 110,000 establishments, which is 0.16 percent of the trade by location count. The revenue lens is correct for what it measures. It is the wrong lens for "which 100,000 buyers should my AE team call."
The aggregator problem is worse and specific to roofing. We dropped 6 entries from a public 25-row top list before this page went live: roofingrepairguy.com, essentialroofingguys.com, roofingbuilttolast.com, shingleguardroofs.com, justplainbusiness.com, and a generic single-LLC name. Each had 26 to 68 "locations" by web-presence count and zero corporate identity. They are not real contractors. They are SEO fronts. Most generalist databases inherit them because the source data is a Google Places scrape.
The third gap is that enterprise B2B databases roll up by parent and lose the buyer. They show "Window World" as one customer at the Wilkesboro HQ and the 200 dealer locations collapse into a single row. The actual buyer for most roofing vendor categories is the dealer-operator or the independent owner who never reports to corporate procurement. IBISWorld's Roofing Contractors report sees the revenue but not the procurement seat. Statista sees the parent but not the branch. This is the gap Orbital sits in. We map the universe of US small and mid-market businesses, classify each location into its market, find the owner for that location, and ship a verified contact before the conversation starts. We are the location-count complement to the revenue ranks, not a replacement for them. Both views belong in your stack.
Questions
Before you ask sales about roofing contractor data.
How many roofing contractors are there in the US?
The US Census Bureau counts 110,000 roofing contractor establishments under NAICS 238160 in its 2023 County Business Patterns release. Orbital maps roughly 74,900 of those as active customer-facing locations under the broader Roofing, Siding and Exteriors classifier. The remainder are inactive entities, sub-entities of larger operators, or roofing-adjacent businesses that file under the same NAICS code but operate without a public-facing brand.
How is Orbital's count different from IBISWorld or Statista?
IBISWorld and Statista publish industry-level revenue and market-share estimates, refreshed every 12 to 18 months and rolled to the parent. Orbital ships a location-by-location operator list with the named owner attached, refreshed monthly. For revenue and market sizing, IBISWorld is the right read. For a prospecting list of 100,000 buyers, it is not. Roofing is the most aggregator-polluted SEO vertical in America, and most generalist databases inherit the noise without filtering it out.
Who is the largest US roofing contractor by location count?
By US locations, Window World runs roughly 200 dealer locations under a windows-and-exteriors franchise model with a meaningful roofing book. After that, Mighty Dog Roofing (91), Erie Home (85), Best Choice Roofing (80) and Centimark (73) lead. By annual revenue, Centimark and Tecta America (both commercial-focused) sit at the top of the commercial roofing field, while Power Home Remodeling and Erie Home lead the residential category. Storefront count and revenue rank the field differently because most large operators run fewer, bigger crews rather than more small ones.
How concentrated is the US roofing market?
Not very. The 10 largest US roofing brands combine for roughly 785 locations against a Census universe of 110,000 establishments, or about 0.71 percent of the market. Even if you sum every roofing chain Orbital tracks across the top 25 brands, you do not crack 1.5 percent. This is the most fragmented home-services vertical we cover. Most operators run one to three trucks and three to twelve crew members.
Can I filter by state, metro, or roofing specialty?
Yes. The dataset is filterable by state, metro, ZIP, chain affiliation, parent company, and specialty (residential reroof, insurance restoration, commercial flat roof, metal, siding and exteriors). Texas, Florida, and California together hold 27 percent of US roofing locations, so most vendors start with those three plus their named target metros. Tell us the cut you want when you request the sample.
How is this list refreshed?
Orbital refreshes the location graph against the universe of US small and mid-market businesses on a rolling monthly schedule. The June 2026 snapshot is the one quoted on this page. The Census County Business Patterns release lags 18 to 24 months. IBISWorld reports lag 12 to 18 months. Roofing is volatile after major storm years, so the published industry counts always trail the active operator count by at least a hurricane season.
Why are so many of the top SEO results for roofing fake?
Residential roofing is the most aggregator-polluted SEO vertical in America. A typical top-25 brand list pulled from public web data will include 5 to 8 generic SEO-front domains (RoofingRepairGuy, EssentialRoofingGuys, RoofingBuiltToLast, etc.) that exist only to capture roofer-near-me search traffic. They have no LinkedIn presence, no corporate identity, no employee count, and in many cases no real crew. Orbital drops them before the data ships.
When is this dataset the wrong fit?
Three cases. First, if you only sell to the public commercial-roofing tier (Centimark, Tecta America, Flynn Group), you do not need a 100,000-record list. You need five strong relationships. Second, if you sell to homeowners directly, you want consumer data, not B2B owner contacts. Third, if your sales motion only fires above 100,000 dollars in annual contract value, the long tail of 1-to-3-truck operators will not fit your unit economics. Save your budget and call us when an enterprise-only motion stalls.
