Top 10 Roofing Companies
in Toledo, OH
Lake Erie sends Toledo 40 to 60 inches of snow a year, and ice damming shortens local asphalt roofs to 15-20 years. Toledo is also one of the few Ohio cities that genuinely licenses roofing contractors — with an exam — rather than just registering them. We checked every contractor below against that.
Our Methodology
How We Choose the Best Roofers in Toledo
Ohio issues no statewide residential roofing license, so requirements are set city by city — and Toledo sets a higher bar than most. The city licenses residential improvement contractors in two tiers rather than simply registering them, requires the International Code Council Building Contractor examination for the full Certified tier, and demands documented qualifying education or experience for both. Roofing then needs its own trade permit on top of that. We verified licensing status against the city’s published contractor list, checked BBB accreditation dates and complaint history, confirmed manufacturer certifications directly with Owens Corning and Carlisle, and weighed independent review records on Google, Angi, Yelp, and GuildQuality.
Toledo’s housing stock shapes what “good” looks like here. Much of the city is 1950s and 1960s ranch and bungalow construction now on its second or third roofing cycle, frequently with original board sheathing rather than plywood underneath. Older neighborhoods like the Old West End carry historic district restrictions. And because most of the metro is pre-1978, lead-safe practices matter on any job disturbing painted trim. We flagged which contractors have genuine depth in each situation, and which are better suited to straightforward suburban replacements in Sylvania, Maumee, and Perrysburg.
The Full List
Top 10 Roofing Companies in Toledo
Pro Craft Home Products
Pro Craft has roofed Toledo continuously since 1952, which is longer than almost anyone in Northwest Ohio, and holds the credential that matters most in this particular city: Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status, maintained unbroken from 2019 through 2026 and held by fewer than one percent of contractors nationally. That designation unlocks a system warranty covering shingles, underlayment, ventilation, and starter strips together with workmanship errors, rather than shingles alone. They have also taken the Owens Corning Product Excellence Award in multiple years and hold Roser and Decra certifications. Two operational commitments set them apart: they run their own crews on every job with no subcontractors, and they pull City of Toledo permits on every replacement rather than treating it as optional. Phones are answered around the clock.
Pros & Cons
Holt Roofing Company
Floyd Holt founded this company in 1947, his son Jack took over in 1969, and it remains family-run under Mark and Beth Holt today. Its BBB accreditation dates to April 1974 — more than fifty unbroken years, the longest accreditation record we found anywhere in Ohio — and it won the BBB Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics in 2008. The practical reason to call Holt is breadth of roofing system: alongside shingles and metal they install and repair TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up, and roof coatings, and they are a Carlisle Certified Installer. If your Toledo property has a flat or low-slope section, a porch roof, or a mixed system, this is the contractor on the list with genuine membrane expertise rather than a shingle crew improvising.
Pros & Cons
Integrity Home Exteriors
Toledo native Adam Becker founded Integrity in 2000, and the company has held BBB accreditation with an A+ rating since July 2003. Their differentiator is the Gold Standard Protection Plan, which carries lifetime workmanship coverage plus free annual inspections — the strongest workmanship position of any contractor on this list, and the annual inspection piece is genuinely valuable in a market where ice dam damage compounds quietly over several winters. They work with Owens Corning and Atlas products across roofing, siding, windows, doors, gutters, and attic insulation. Weekday hours run to 8PM and they open Saturday mornings, which is unusual in this market and useful if you cannot take time off work for an estimate.
Pros & Cons
Roofing419
Roofing419 has built a decade-plus reputation in the Toledo market across roof replacement, new installs, metal and asphalt shingle work, and emergency repairs. Their award record is the reason to take them seriously: a Best of Toledo award in 2017 and Marketplace Ethics Awards in both 2016 and 2023. Winning an ethics award twice, seven years apart, is a meaningfully different signal from a single recognition — it suggests the standard held as the company grew. They also carry Owens Corning Platinum Preferred certification, the same top-one-percent designation as Pro Craft, which means they can offer the full Owens Corning system warranty including workmanship coverage. Their name is a deliberate nod to the 419 area code and local identity.
Pros & Cons
4 Guys and a Roof
4 Guys and a Roof installs Owens Corning materials exclusively, and their reasoning is specific to this city: Owens Corning’s world headquarters sits in downtown Toledo, so when a shingle defect appears they can take it directly to the manufacturer rather than working through a distributor chain. That is a real advantage almost no other US market offers. They publish unusually detailed local pricing, including neighbourhood-level ranges across Toledo, Maumee, Sylvania, and Perrysburg, and they call out the industry practice of quoting low to win the job then recovering margin through change orders. Their content emphasises the components most estimates hide — quality underlayment, ice and water shield, ridge vent systems, and flashing — which are precisely the items that determine whether a Toledo roof survives ice dam season.
Pros & Cons
Ace Roofing and Construction
Ace Roofing and Construction serves the Toledo area with an emphasis on the licensing and insurance question that matters more here than in most markets. They are explicit that fly-by-night operators and storm chasers underbid precisely because they skip liability insurance, workers’ compensation, and the state and local licenses Toledo requires — and that an uninsured worker injured on your property can become your financial problem. That framing is worth taking seriously regardless of who you ultimately hire. They publish 2026 Toledo cost guidance in the $8,000 to $20,000 range and walk through what actually drives the variation, rather than quoting a single headline figure.
Pros & Cons
Salgau Roofing
Salgau has worked the Toledo metro since 1998, giving it more than 27 years of continuous local operation from a genuine East Toledo address on Starr Avenue. They handle asphalt shingle and EPDM flat roof replacement, which covers both the pitched and low-slope sections common on older Toledo housing. The recurring theme in independent reviews is speed and price: homeowners who collected three estimates repeatedly report Salgau coming in competitive, and describe replacements finished efficiently — often within an afternoon — with thorough cleanup and minimal disruption. If you are cost-conscious and your project is a straightforward tear-off and replacement rather than a complex specialty job, they are worth including in your bid set.
Pros & Cons
Seagate Roofing and Foundation Services
Seagate is the only contractor on this list combining roofing with basement and foundation repair, and in Toledo that pairing makes more sense than it might elsewhere. Water problems in older Toledo homes frequently involve both ends of the building at once: failed gutters and roof drainage dumping water against a foundation that then leaks into the basement. Diagnosing that as one system rather than two separate contractor visits can save a homeowner from fixing the symptom twice. Alongside roofing they handle siding and gutters. Reviewers cite knowledgeable inspectors, professional crews, prompt inspection scheduling, and clear written estimates.
Pros & Cons
Salinas Roofing, Siding and Exteriors
Salinas is a family-owned Toledo contractor covering roofing, siding, gutters, and windows, and it consistently appears at the top of Yelp’s Toledo roofing listings. The recurring praise centres on responsiveness and job-site discipline: homeowners describe fast callbacks, clean sites, quick turnarounds, and flexible scheduling. They work with both quality asphalt shingle and metal roofing products. For a homeowner who wants a single contractor handling roof and siding together on a mid-sized suburban home, and who values a contractor who actually answers the phone, Salinas is a reasonable shortlist addition alongside the more heavily credentialed firms above.
Pros & Cons
Mills Siding and Roofing
Mills is included specifically for insurance-funded storm work rather than as a general recommendation. Founded in 1946 and operating from a Maumee office serving the Toledo market, they position themselves as a dedicated storm restoration contractor and state that most of their roof replacements are covered by insurance. Their teams are trained specifically to identify hidden wind and hail damage and to walk homeowners through the claims process, and they work with GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and TAMKO products. The tradeoff is worth being clear about: this is a large multi-market operator headquartered in Troy, Michigan, with offices across Michigan and Ohio, so you get claims depth rather than the owner-level accountability of a small Toledo firm.

Ratings shown are drawn from the platform noted on each contractor card and were current as of August 2026. Where a dash appears, no independently verified aggregate rating or founding date was published at the time of writing — these companies are included on the strength of credentials, local track record, or documented review sentiment rather than a star average. Mills Siding and Roofing was founded in 1946 in Michigan and BBB accredited in Ohio in 2023.
Special Situation
Best for Storm Damage and Insurance Claims
If your Toledo project runs through an insurance claim, Mills Siding and Roofing has the deepest claims workflow of any contractor here — storm restoration is their entire business model and they state that most of their replacements are insurance-funded. Integrity Home Exteriors also handles Toledo wind and hail claims regularly and has the advantage of being a locally rooted firm. Before calling anyone, photograph the damage yourself with timestamps, request your own copy of the adjuster’s scope of loss, and never sign a contract assigning your claim benefits to the contractor. One Toledo-specific warning: post-storm periods draw unlicensed operators into the market, and Toledo licenses roofing contractors rather than merely registering them. Ask for the license number and check it against the city’s published list before you sign anything.
Toledo Specific
The Permit Penalty Most Homeowners Do Not Know About
Roofing in Toledo requires its own trade permit, separate from any general building permit. If the work proceeds without one, the Division of Building Inspection issues a Stop-Work Order, triples the permit fees, adds a $250 penalty, and may issue a court summons for repeat offenders. Critically, the city holds the homeowner ultimately responsible for making sure permits are obtained, even though the contractor must pull them when work is contracted. Put it in the contract in writing, and confirm the permit is posted on site before the crew starts. The Division of Building Inspection is at One Government Center, Suite 1600, and can be reached at (419) 245-1220.
Buyer’s Guide
How to Choose a Roofing Contractor in Toledo
Toledo’s two-tier contractor licensing, its separate roofing trade permit, its lake-effect snow load, and its largely pre-1978 housing stock create considerations you will not find in a generic roofing guide.
Check the License Tier, Not Just the License
Toledo issues two residential tiers. A Certified Remodeling Contractor has passed the ICC Building Contractor exam and may do all residential construction. A Limited Remodeling Contractor is restricted to roofing, windows, siding, insulation, and fencing — fine for a straightforward replacement, but not for structural work. Both expire December 31 annually. Ask which tier your contractor holds and check the city’s published list.
Buy Ventilation and Ice Protection, Not Shingles
Lake Erie delivers 40 to 60 inches of snow and roughly 34 inches of rain a year. Ice damming, not shingle failure, is what shortens Toledo roofs to 15-20 years. Ice-and-water shield at the eaves and a properly balanced ridge-and-soffit ventilation system matter more than shingle brand. If a quote does not itemise both, it is not comparable to one that does.
Ask What Is Under the Shingles
Much of Toledo is 1950s and 1960s ranch and bungalow stock on its second or third roof, often with original board sheathing rather than plywood. That decking absorbs moisture through every small flashing failure between replacements, and you cannot see it from the ground. Require the contractor to document decking condition with photographs after tear-off and get written approval before extra repairs proceed, or the change order writes itself.
Historic District? Get Commission Approval First
Under Toledo Municipal Code Chapter 1111.1101, any exterior change to a property inside a designated historic district needs prior Historic District Commission approval. Every licensed Toledo contractor signs an acknowledgement of this rule at licensing, so a contractor who tells you it does not apply is either unlicensed or hoping you will not check. If you own in the Old West End or another designated district, start there.
