What Makes A Roofing Company The Best?

When it comes to protecting your home or business, few things are more important than a reliable roof. But with so many roofing companies out there, how do you know which one is truly the best?

Each year, Gambit’s Best of New Orleans gives the community a chance to vote for the top local businesses in a variety of categories—including Best Roofing Company. Perdomo Roofing & Sheet Metal™ proudly took home that honor last year, and we’re in the running again thanks to the trust and satisfaction of our incredible customers.

So, what exactly makes a roofing company “the best”? Whether you’re in New Orleans, Metairie, or anywhere along the Gulf Coast, here are a few key qualities to look for:

1. Local Experience You Can Trust

The best roofing companies are rooted in the communities they serve. Perdomo Roofing & Sheet Metal™ has been serving the Greater New Orleans area for decades, building a reputation for dependable service, fair pricing, and expert craftsmanship. We understand the unique climate challenges here—like hurricane threats, heavy rain, and high humidity—and we build roofs that are made to withstand them.

2. Licensed, Insured, and Certified

Before hiring any roofer, check their credentials. A reputable company will be fully licensed and insured to protect you and your property. Look for certifications from top manufacturers—such as GAF Master Elite® status—which indicate advanced training and high customer satisfaction scores.

3. Commitment to Quality Materials

The best roofing companies never cut corners on materials. Whether you’re choosing shingles, metal, or a FORTIFIED™ roofing system, the durability of your roof depends on what it’s made of. At Perdomo, we only work with proven, long-lasting products and industry-trusted brands to ensure your roof performs for years to come.

4. FORTIFIED™ Expertise

More and more homeowners are choosing FORTIFIED™ roofs—especially here in hurricane-prone Louisiana. A FORTIFIED™ roof adds layers of protection that exceed standard building codes. Perdomo Roofing & Sheet Metal™ is one of the few certified FORTIFIED™ roofing contractors in the area, helping our customers qualify for insurance discounts while strengthening their homes against storms.

5. Transparent Estimates & Clear Communication

The best roofers treat you like family—not a transaction. That means answering questions, walking you through your options, and providing honest, detailed estimates. From the first call to the final inspection, our team at Perdomo is dedicated to keeping you informed and at ease every step of the way.

6. A Track Record of Happy Customers

Finally, reputation matters. Read reviews. Ask for references. Look for companies with consistent 5-star ratings and testimonials that highlight professionalism, timeliness, and follow-through.

Our team is proud to have earned hundreds of positive reviews—and even prouder to be recognized by Gambit Weekly readers as the Best Roofing Company in New Orleans.
