18 Roofing Companies in Albany, New York

We don’t yet have enough itemized residential roofing permits in Albany to publish a reliable local cost range. Across New York, the median filed residential roofing-permit amount is $11,700 - a real filed figure rather than a national estimate. As more Albany permits come on record, we’ll show the local range here.

Of the 13 companies we track in Albany, 0 have an active contractor license located in public records, 7 are registered business entities, and 5 operate from a commercial rather than residential address. New York does not issue a statewide roofing license, so roofing is regulated at the city or county level - confirm licensing with the local building department rather than expecting a state license number. A company not appearing with a license here isn’t proof it’s unlicensed - some jurisdictions don’t publish - so verify directly, and always confirm liability and workers’ comp insurance before work starts.

The roofers we track in Albany have been in business a median of 10 years, by their state formation date. The longest-operating is Titan Roofing, in business since 2000 (26 years); 0 were formed less than two years ago. A verifiable formation date and registered agent on file is one of the clearest lines between an established local company and a transient operator.

Albany County has recorded 261 significant storm events in the past decade, including hail up to 1.75" and wind gusts to 90 mph, so storm-driven roof damage is common here. After big storms, be wary of out-of-area crews who show up unsolicited, pressure you to sign immediately, or ask you to sign over your insurance claim. 13 of the roofers we track are based in Albany itself, alongside 5 that service it from nearby - favor an established local firm you can verify over a crew that appeared after the hail.

8 of the 13 roofers we track in Albany hold at least one manufacturer certification (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO, IKO, Malarkey). The most common here is Owens Corning, held by 6 companies - versus 35% certified across New York. Certification means the manufacturer vetted the contractor and lets them back your roof with stronger, longer material-and-labor warranties. Not required to install a roof, but a real signal of training and standing.
