We need a new roof for our home. Can someone suggest a good and reliable contractor?

Unfortunately, IMHO, you may not know if the roofer was good for a few years after the roof was installed, some mistakes take that long to show up. When I get ready to do the roof replacement, I will be researching the BBB as well as Seniors Against Crime, and any other suitable resources that show long term suitability of the roofer. I will then confirm the quality of the materials used, and mention that I will be taking HIGH resolution pictures of the work in progress, this is to insure the correct number of nails per shingle and the correct location of the nails. I may even go so far as to ask a home inspector to stop by and take a look. I will also be carefully reviewing any warranty offered and the terms of the warranty.
As you can tell I am not looking forward to this task.

We were pleased with Eustis. They left the garden free of debris and came back quickly to fix a small leak around the Solar Tube.

We used Batterbee. We were pleased with the work and price. But as has been stated performance of the roof takes time to determine. Ours has been on for 4 years and no problems so far.

We used S&W Roofing. Will, the owner and his team are professional, honest, prompt, and tidy! Prices were very reasonable.
No sales pressure and no 2 hours sales pitch!

It has been 5 years and roof is in great shape.

I have rereferred them to many friends, all who have been happy with their work and prices.

Another vote for McHale. They are outstanding. Not to mention they are one odd the few roofing companies here that will do small repair jobs. Have referred them many times to customers.

I can only warn you away from Batterbee. Apparently they used to be a good company, but no more. In 2020, they put a new roof on our home. Despite my asking, they did not replace old vents, etc., but just reinstalled them around the new roof. Now we have an issue with leaks, because the old hardware is rusting, cracking, and so on. When I tried to have them honor the warranty, the workman who came out said the leaks had nothing to do with the roof. After having a costly home inspection, it's clear the problem is absolutely with the roof. Wishing you the best of luck.

We also had a new roof installed by Eustis. Family owned, very reliability, beautiful job, with new roof vents installed where old ones were. All the other roof fixtures were replaced with new ones. Pictures were taken at every phase of the installation. Price was less than I thought. The cleanup after the job was completed was terrific. They did not try to sell me any extra features.
They removed my solar pool heating unit from the roof at no extra change. I chose not to replace it on the new roof. Good luck!

McGinnis was the most reasonable of the 3 quotes we got, and they did a great job. Done in a less than a day.
