Of the 21 companies we track in Philadelphia, 6 have an active contractor license located in public records, 11 are registered business entities, and 6 operate from a commercial rather than residential address. Pennsylvania issues roofing-contractor licensing at the state level, so an active state license is the baseline credential to confirm before hiring. 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 Philadelphia have been in business a median of 7 years, by their state formation date. The longest-operating is Union Roofing, in business since 1981 (45 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.

Philadelphia County has recorded 159 significant storm events in the past decade, including hail up to 1.25" and wind gusts to 71 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. 21 of the roofers we track are based in Philadelphia itself, alongside 9 that service it from nearby - favor an established local firm you can verify over a crew that appeared after the hail.

5 of the 21 roofers we track in Philadelphia hold at least one manufacturer certification (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO, IKO, Malarkey). The most common here is GAF, held by 2 companies - versus 53% certified across Pennsylvania. 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.

Across the 21 companies we track in Philadelphia, the average rating is 4.7★, combining Google, BBB, and Yelp. 18 appear on more than one platform and 20 have owners who actively respond to reviews. Look for steady, recent, multi-source ratings over a handful of old five-star reviews on one site - any single platform can be cherry-picked.

Roofing is a high-fall-risk trade, so safety history matters. Of the 21 companies we track in Philadelphia, 5 have at least one federal OSHA violation on record in the past 10 years, and 16 have none. We show any recorded violation - citation, severity, and penalty - on each profile. A clean record isn’t a guarantee, but repeated serious violations are a real red flag.
