Facts checked September 22, 2026
Grand Rapids has no shortage of roofers. Some have been here for a century, some opened in the last few years, and every spring a few trucks with out-of-state plates show up after a hailstorm. The trick isn't finding a roofer. It's finding one that will still answer the phone when the warranty matters.
We looked for companies with a real Grand Rapids-area office, a stated track record, and the range to handle both a small repair and a full replacement. Each one below says plainly on its own website what it does, and each has a genuine strength that makes it the right call for some homeowners.
Whoever you call, ask for a written inspection with photos before you talk price. A roofer who has been on your roof and in your attic can tell you what it actually needs. One who quotes from the driveway is guessing.
What We Looked For in a Grand Rapids Roofer
A Local Office
A shop or office in the Grand Rapids area, so the same company is around for a warranty call five winters from now.
Repair and Replacement
A roofer that only sells replacements will find a reason to replace. We favored companies that do both and say so.
A Written Inspection
Photos and a written report before any price, covering the roof, the flashing, the attic and the deck.
Stated Track Record
Years in business, services and credentials stated on the company's own site, where you can check them yourself.
Winter Know-How
Ice and water shield, attic ventilation and flashing details that hold up to roughly 75 to 78 inches of snow a season.
Storm Readiness
Someone who can inspect after hail or wind, document the damage and work with your insurance adjuster.

How to Check Any Grand Rapids Roofer in an Afternoon
01. Look up the license
Michigan licenses residential builders and maintenance and alteration contractors through LARA, and the lookup is free online. The number on the contract should match the company on the truck.
02. Find the local address
A real office or shop in the area, not a P.O. box or a hotel. After a hailstorm, this one step screens out most storm chasers.
03. Ask for proof of insurance
Liability and workers' compensation, on a certificate sent straight from the insurance agent. A roofer without it can leave you exposed if someone is hurt on your property.
04. Get the inspection in writing
Photos of what they found, including the attic and the flashing, and a plain statement of whether the roof needs repair or replacement. Compare those reports, not just the prices.
05. Separate the two warranties
The shingle maker covers the materials. The roofer covers the installation. Ask how long each lasts, what it covers, and who you call to use it.

Learn MoreBest Roofing Companies in Grand Rapids, MI: FAQ
How do I choose a roofing company in Grand Rapids?
Start with a license you can look up, a local address and proof of insurance. Then get two or three written inspections with photos and compare what each roofer found, not just the price. The right company explains why the roof needs what it recommends, and puts its workmanship warranty in writing.
Do roofers in Michigan need a license?
Yes. Roofing work on a home in Michigan requires a state license, either a residential builder license or a maintenance and alteration contractor license covering roofing. You can check any contractor's license on the State of Michigan's LARA website.
When is the best time to have a roof inspected in Grand Rapids?
Late spring and early fall are the most useful times: spring shows you what winter did, and fall gives you time to fix it before the snow. Always have it checked after a hailstorm or high wind, even if you can't see damage from the ground.
How can I spot a storm chaser?
Door-knocking right after a storm, no local address, pressure to sign the same day, and offers to cover your insurance deductible are the usual signs. A local roofer will still be here for the warranty. Someone who follows the storms may not.
Why is Stellar Roofing ranked first on this list?
Because we wrote it, as the disclosure under the headline says. We've tried to describe every other company fairly, using only what they state on their own websites, and we'd encourage any homeowner to get more than one inspection.
