TL;DR
- Seagate Roofing and Foundation Services is the current #1 roofer in this statewide ProFix ranking.
- The ranking starts with ProFix Trust Score, then uses recent permit count as the strongest tie-breaker for regulated or permit-visible work.
- This list favors roofing specialties, review depth, permit activity, and manufacturer or insurance-claim signals; it does not promise the cheapest quote or the fastest appointment.
- Use /compare for side-by-side filtering and /verify before signing a contract.
How we rank
ProFix ranks Ohio roofers with a transparent, repeatable method. The first pass is the Trust Score: license-linked verification where Ohio publishes it, license or registration evidence, review depth, photos, hours, service area, specialties, tenure, and permit-verified status. The second pass uses the published algorithm and recent permit counts to break close calls. If two contractors remain tied, we prefer stronger public review volume, longer tenure, fresher verification, and then business-name order.

What "best" actually means
This ranking favors permit-pulling, license-linked, tenure-rich contractors. It does NOT favor lowest-price or fastest-quote. A "best" contractor for a $50,000 panel upgrade is different from a "best" contractor for a $200 water heater repair. For roofers, ProFix is really asking: which companies leave the clearest public trail that they exist, do the work, and can be checked before money changes hands?
Filters to apply yourself
Start with the ranking, then narrow it for your project. Open /compare to compare up to three contractors on Trust Score, permit count, license evidence, reviews, insurance signals, tenure, service area, and profile freshness. Use /verify for license checks before you sign. For trade-specific hiring questions, read the Ohio buyer's guide for roofers.
When "best" might be wrong
A statewide list can miss a small local company that does excellent work but has few public records. It can also underrate a newer contractor with strong crews and limited tenure. Permit data varies by county and by trade, especially for jobs that do not require a building permit. Always match the ranking to the job size, confirm the person who will be on site, and get a written scope before paying a deposit.
FAQ
Who is the #1 roofer in Ohio for 2026?
Seagate Roofing and Foundation Services ranks #1 among published Ohio roofers in this ProFix list because it combines a 80/100 Trust Score, 0 recent matched permits, and the strongest public evidence signals in the current dataset.
What jobs does this roofer ranking fit best?
Use it for roof replacements, storm repairs, flat roofs, gutters, ice-dam fixes, and insurance scopes. It is especially useful when the job looks like a full tear-off, decking repair, and manufacturer-warranty roof, because license evidence, permit history, and tenure matter more when the downside risk is high.
What does this roofer ranking not measure?
It does not measure the lowest price, fastest callback, or whether a contractor has a same-week opening. A contractor that is best for a full tear-off, decking repair, and manufacturer-warranty roof may not be the best fit for a $200 flashing inspection or small leak diagnosis.
What should I verify before hiring one of these Ohio roofers?
Confirm the business name, insurance, written scope, permit responsibility, and any license or registration number shown on the profile. For this trade, the key risk to control is storm-chaser sales tactics, uninsured crews, and warranty exclusions after poor ventilation work.
Why does ProFix use permits in this roofer ranking?
Permit pulls are public proof that a contractor handled regulated work, not just marketing copy. For roofers, ProFix weights roofing specialties, review depth, permit activity, and manufacturer or insurance-claim signals alongside review depth, published hours, location evidence, and years in business.
