Short answer: As of September 2026, the five highest-scoring roofing contractors in the Greensboro-High Point, NC metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are 5 Star Roofing & Restoration, LLC (96.0), Village Roofs, Inc. (90.2), ProCover Exteriors LLC (85.4), All Pro Roofing LLC (85.3), New Testament Roofing (81.0). Each holds a certification we verified on the manufacturer’s own register, every rating was corroborated elsewhere, and placement on this page is not for sale.
The Roofing Brief scored 13 certified roofing contractors serving the Greensboro metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top five individually to confirm its record. The Triad has the highest average contractor rating in this batch at 4.90, tied with Lakeland, and a pool 13 deep, so a place in this top five means clearing a genuinely high bar. North Carolina licenses general contractors at state level through the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors, with a threshold of $40,000, and a full replacement often sits under it. That gap is where the vetting has to happen: below $40,000 there may be no state licence to check at all, which is precisely why manufacturer certification and the BBB complaint record do the work on this page. One contractor below carries a materially weaker complaint record than the rest, and we have said so rather than quietly leaving it out.
Wind, terrain and the Greensboro housing stock
The Triad’s reference event is the EF2 tornado that crossed east Greensboro on 15 April 2018, damaging or destroying more than 500 homes, affecting over a thousand buildings including three elementary schools, injuring 17 people and killing one. Around it sits a decade with 530 severe wind reports across Guilford, Rockingham and Randolph counties, 95 hail reports topped by 2-inch stones at Ruffin in May 2022 and again in Guilford County in March 2025, and eight tornadoes. May is the peak month.
Tree fall is the usual mechanism. A 2018 storm survey in Rockingham County found trees uprooted in a divergent pattern along a broken path, with several landing on houses, which is the everyday version of wind damage in this region. Clearance over the roof and a proper inspection of the deck after any impact matter more here than the highest available impact rating.
North Carolina’s licence threshold creates a gap most homeowners do not know about. A general contractor licence, with the roofing specialty classification, is required for work of $40,000 or more, a threshold that rose from $30,000 on 1 October 2023. Plenty of full replacements in Greensboro land below it, which means there may be no state licence to check at all on your particular job. That is exactly why manufacturer certification and the BBB complaint record carry the weight on this page.
Permits depend on scope and jurisdiction. Greensboro’s Engineering and Inspections department handles residential permits, with High Point, Burlington and Guilford County running their own, and work that touches decking or structure is permitted work in any of them. Ask the contractor to confirm in writing whether your job needs a permit and who is pulling it, and if the contract value is near $40,000, ask to see the NCLBGC licence rather than assuming it applies.

Scored 2026-09-19. The metro mean rating used as the Bayesian prior for Greensboro is 4.9, across a pool of 13 certified contractors.

1. 5 Star Roofing & Restoration, LLC — TRB Score 96.0
5 Star Roofing & Restoration, LLC is based in Greensboro, NC, BBB accredited since 3 April 2020, A+ rating, and holds President’s Club standing on the GAF certification registry.
| Score component | Points | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Certification tier | 35 | 35 |
| Adjusted rating | 36.0 | 40 |
| Review corpus depth | 15.0 | 15 |
| Metro proximity | 10.0 | 10 |

Independently corroborated:
- A+ rated and accredited since 3 April 2020. BBB
- Residential and commercial roofing including replacement, repair and roof rejuvenation. Company
What they actually do. Residential and commercial roof replacement, repair and roof rejuvenation.
Why it ranks here. 546 registry reviews at 4.9 is the deepest evidence base in the Triad, with President’s Club certification and an A+ accredited record, from a firm based in Greensboro itself. Its 96.0 is the second-highest score in this batch.
Best fit for: Greensboro homeowners generally, and anyone wanting the largest verifiable record in the metro.
Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (336) 810-8801, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.
2. Village Roofs, Inc. — TRB Score 90.2
Village Roofs, Inc. is based in Oak Ridge, NC, BBB accredited since 7 January 2022, A+ rating, and holds President’s Club standing on the GAF certification registry.
| Score component | Points | Max |

| Certification tier | 35 | 35 |

Independently corroborated:
- A+ rated and accredited since 7 January 2022. BBB
- Listed with GuildQuality, which surveys customers directly rather than collecting volunteered reviews. GuildQuality
What they actually do. Residential roofing across Guilford and Forsyth counties.
Why it ranks here. President’s Club certification with a 4.9 rating and GuildQuality participation, so its feedback is solicited from every customer rather than volunteered. Eleven miles from the metro centre, covering the northwest Guilford and Kernersville corridor.
Best fit for: Oak Ridge, Summerfield and northwest Guilford County homeowners.
What we would want clarified. 152 registry reviews is a modest base beside the leader, and accreditation dates only to 2022. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

3. ProCover Exteriors LLC — TRB Score 85.4
ProCover Exteriors LLC is based in Greensboro, NC, BBB accredited since 9 September 2022, A+ rating, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.

Why it ranks here. A clean 5.0 across 175 registry reviews from an A+ accredited firm based in Greensboro itself. Sustaining a perfect rating across 175 reviews is meaningfully harder than across 20.
Best fit for: Greensboro homeowners wanting roof, siding and windows from one contractor.
What we would want clarified. Master Elite rather than President’s Club, and accredited only since 2022. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

- Listed on HomeAdvisor with a review history. HomeAdvisor
What they actually do. Residential and commercial roofing under an unlimited general contractor licence.
Why it ranks here. The only contractor in this top five holding a verified North Carolina general contractor licence, and an Unlimited classification at that, which removes the project-value ceiling entirely. In a state where roofing often falls below the licensing threshold, holding the licence anyway is a deliberate signal. A clean 5.0 across 167 registry reviews.
Best fit for: Large or structurally complex jobs, and homeowners who want a state licence number to check.
What we would want clarified. BBB accreditation dates only to May 2026, so the formal complaint record is very short. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

Best fit for: High Point, Thomasville and southern Guilford County homeowners.
What we would want clarified. Not BBB accredited and rated A rather than A+, which is a slightly weaker record than the three accredited contractors above it, though there is no complaint pattern on file.

The 530 wind reports that shape a Greensboro roof
Aggregate hail counts tell you very little about a specific roof. These are the individual events: every severe-weather report logged by the National Weather Service across the 3 counties of the Greensboro-High Point, NC statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 95 hail reports, 530 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 8 tornadoes. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $75.9 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
The biggest hail to fall on Greensboro in a decade
| Date | Stone size | Reported near | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 May 2022 | 2.0 in | Ruffin | Rockingham |
| 16 March 2025 | 2.0 in | Broadview | Guilford |
| 16 March 2025 | 2.0 in | Hill Top | Guilford |
| 16 March 2025 | 2.0 in | Groomtown | Guilford |
| 3 May 2016 | 1.75 in | Pisgah | Randolph |
| 15 August 2023 | 1.75 in | Pleasant Garden | Guilford |
The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 6 May 2022 near Ruffin, measured at 2.0 inches. That is hen-egg sized. Two inches is the threshold at which insurers expect functional damage and full replacement claims.
Wind. The strongest thunderstorm gust logged in the metro was 70 knots, about 81 mph, near Harrisons Xrds on 11 October 2018. Asphalt shingles begin lifting at roughly 67 mph when they are correctly nailed, and considerably below that when they are not.
Tornadoes. 8 tornadoes touched down in these counties over the decade, the strongest rated EF2 near Greensboro on 15 April 2018.
What the National Weather Service wrote about it
The NWS logs a written account of each severe-weather episode. This is its description of the 11 October 2018 event near Harrisons Xrds, reproduced verbatim:
A storm survey concluded that numerous trees were found uprooted and blown down in a generally southerly direction, with the damage occurring in a divergent pattern along a broken path. A couple of the fallen trees landed on nearby homes, however damage to the structures appeared to be minimal. The damaging winds were the result of very heavy rain within the embedded thunderstorms in the area allowing the strong winds aloft to mix down to the surface.
That is what the specification has to anticipate here, written up by the agency that recorded it rather than by a contractor selling the repair.
When it happens. Severe weather reports cluster in May (154), July (120), June (99). The worst years on record were 2019 (100), 2017 (86), 2025 (84). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in Greensboro, the months outside that window are when crews are least stretched and least likely to be triaging emergency callouts ahead of your job.
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database, county-level detail files 2016 to 2025, filtered to the counties of this statistical area by The Roofing Brief. Damage figures are as reported to the NWS and undercount insured losses.
What to do with this. Greensboro sees enough damaging hail that a Class 4 impact-rated shingle is worth pricing, though not automatically worth buying. Get both quotes and weigh the premium against any insurance discount.
Three things to confirm before work starts in Greensboro
Licensing is required in NC. North Carolina has no state roofing licence as such. A general contractor licence from the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors, carrying the Building, Residential or S (Roofing) classification, is required for any roofing project costing $40,000 or more.
The $40,000 threshold rose from $30,000 effective 1 October 2023. Contracting without a licence at or above that value is a Class 2 misdemeanour under NCGS 87-13. Exams are administered by PSI.
Check here: NCLBGC licensee search. Below $40,000 no state licence is needed, and most single-family reroofs cost less than that, so many local roofers lawfully hold none. If your job is at or above $40,000, check the licence on the Board’s search; below it, check insurance certificates with the insurer, and note that North Carolina has no statute banning deductible rebates or giving a cancellation right on insurance-funded roof contracts.
Four checks to run before you sign anything, in any state.
- Verify certification at the source. Use the GAF verification tool rather than trusting a badge image on a company website.
- Get the certificate of insurance from the insurer, not the contractor, and confirm general liability and workers compensation are both active on the day work starts.
- Confirm who pulls the permit. If a contractor asks you to pull it as the homeowner, that moves liability onto you. Decline.
- Get warranty terms in writing before any deposit, and check the manufacturer warranty being promised actually requires the certification tier the contractor holds.
The shape of the Greensboro contractor market
13 certified roofing contractors serve the principal cities of the Greensboro-High Point, NC statistical area, of which 2 hold the top President’s Club tier. The pool carries 2,196 customer reviews between them at a mean rating of 4.9. The statistical area had a 2024 population of 800,722, a change of 3.12% against the 2020 census base, per the U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2024 estimates.
How these Greensboro rankings were produced
Every contractor in the Greensboro-High Point, NC pool was scored out of 100 on four published components: certification tier, a Bayesian adjusted rating, review depth and distance from the metro centre. In this metro that meant scoring 13 certified contractors, of whom 2 hold President’s Club standing and 6 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.9. The top five were then researched individually against Better Business Bureau records, state licence registers and manufacturer directories. The findings are printed above whether they flatter the contractor or not, and nobody paid to appear.
The full method, the weightings, what the GAF certification tiers actually mean, who is eligible to be ranked and what we do not claim are all set out on our roofer ranking methodology page.

The questions that come up most in Greensboro
Who is the best roofer in Greensboro, NC?
5 Star Roofing & Restoration, LLC of Greensboro, NC scores highest in the Greensboro metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score, at 96.0 out of 100 as of September 2026. It holds President’s Club certification with a 4.9 rating across 546 reviews. Highest-scoring is not the same as best fit for your specific job, and the four companies behind it score within 15.0 points.
How many certified roofing contractors serve Greensboro?
13 contractors on the GAF certification registry serve the principal cities of the Greensboro-High Point, NC statistical area as of September 2026, of which 2 hold President’s Club status.
How much damaging hail does Greensboro get?
The Greensboro-High Point, NC statistical area recorded 76 hail reports of 1 inch or larger and 4 of 2 inches or larger between 2016 and 2025 in the NOAA Storm Events Database. The largest hailstone reported measured 2.0 inches.
Did any contractor pay to appear on this list?
No. The Roofing Brief takes no placement fees, no lead fees and no affiliate commission from any roofing contractor. Ranking comes entirely from the published formula applied to public registry data, followed by an individual research pass on the top five.
What was the worst hailstorm in Greensboro in the last ten years?
The largest hailstone logged by the National Weather Service in the Greensboro-High Point, NC statistical area between 2016 and 2025 measured 2.0 inches, reported near Ruffin on 6 May 2022. That is hen-egg sized. Two inches is the threshold at which insurers expect functional damage and full replacement claims. Across the decade the metro recorded 95 hail reports. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $75.9 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
When is the worst time of year for roof damage in Greensboro?
Severe-weather reports in the Greensboro-High Point, NC statistical area cluster in May, July, June, on the NOAA record for 2016 to 2025. If the work can wait, booking outside that window usually buys you shorter lead times and more of the contractor’s attention.
Do roofers need a licence in NC?
North Carolina has no state roofing licence as such. A general contractor licence from the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors, carrying the Building, Residential or S (Roofing) classification, is required for any roofing project costing $40,000 or more. The $40,000 threshold rose from $30,000 effective 1 October 2023. Contracting without a licence at or above that value is a Class 2 misdemeanour under NCGS 87-13. Exams are administered by PSI.
What should I check before hiring a roofer in Greensboro?
Below $40,000 no state licence is needed, and most single-family reroofs cost less than that, so many local roofers lawfully hold none. If your job is at or above $40,000, check the licence on the Board’s search; below it, check insurance certificates with the insurer, and note that North Carolina has no statute banning deductible rebates or giving a cancellation right on insurance-funded roof contracts.
Is Greensboro a hard market to find a good roofer in?
The Triad has the highest average contractor rating in this batch at 4.90, tied with Lakeland, and a pool 13 deep, so a place in this top five means clearing a genuinely high bar. North Carolina licenses general contractors at state level through the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors, with a threshold of $40,000, and a full replacement often sits under it. That gap is where the vetting has to happen: below $40,000 there may be no state licence to check at all, which is precisely why manufacturer certification and the BBB complaint record do the work on this page. One contractor below carries a materially weaker complaint record than the rest, and we have said so rather than quietly leaving it out.
Is wind or hail the bigger risk to a roof in Greensboro?
Wind, by a wide margin. The Greensboro-High Point, NC statistical area logged 530 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports against 76 hail reports of an inch or more between 2016 and 2025. Wind damage shows up at the rake, ridge and edge rather than across the field of the roof, so the fastening schedule and edge detail matter more here than the impact rating of the shingle.
