Short answer: As of September 2026, the five highest-scoring roofing contractors in the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are The Roofing Company LLC (78.8), Fortitude Roofing, LLC (75.0), Cooper Roofing & Solar, Inc (71.0), Vegas Born Roofing, LLC (55.4), Ariat Roofing, Inc. (55.0). 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 8 certified roofing contractors serving the Las Vegas metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top five individually to confirm its record. Las Vegas has the thinnest certified roofing market of any metro published so far. Only ten GAF-certified contractors serve the entire valley, against 25 in Dallas and 20 in Austin, and the metro mean rating of 4.54 is among the lowest in this programme. Scores on this page are therefore materially lower than elsewhere, and that is a real finding rather than a scoring artefact: the certified pool here is small and its tail is weak. Nevada does licence roofers properly, under the C-15 classification with four years of documented experience required, so the state licence lookup carries more weight in this metro than the certification tier does.
What a Las Vegas roof is up against
Nevada licenses roofing properly and backs it with money. A C-15 roofing and siding licence from the State Contractors Board is required, the board sets a bond for each licensee, and the Residential Recovery Fund can compensate a homeowner harmed by a licensed residential contractor’s defective or abandoned work, up to $40,000 per claim. That protection exists only where the contractor was licensed, which makes the licence check the single most valuable five minutes a Las Vegas homeowner can spend. The board publishes licence status and disciplinary history.
Tile roofs here fail from the underlayment up. Concrete tile lasts for decades in this climate, but the felt or synthetic membrane beneath it is what keeps water out, and desert ultraviolet exposure and daily heat cycling dry it out and crack it, commonly within 15 to 20 years on older felt. The repair is a lift-and-relay: tiles are removed and stacked, new underlayment and flashings are installed, and the same tiles go back down. If your tile roof is around two decades old and the tiles are sound, that is the quote to ask for before anyone sells you a full replacement.
Flat and low-slope roofs are the other Las Vegas archetype, and they have their own clock. Spray polyurethane foam and coated systems perform well in a hot, dry climate, but the coating is sacrificial: once it thins, ultraviolet exposure degrades the foam beneath it quickly. Recoating on schedule is far cheaper than replacing a degraded system, so ask any contractor quoting a flat roof what the recoat interval is, what the warranty requires, and whether inspection is included.
The storm record is short but not empty: 123 severe wind reports and 29 hail reports over the decade, no tornadoes, and $53.9 million in reported property damage, concentrated in July and August. Monsoon microbursts are the mechanism, arriving as sudden downdrafts with little warning, and on 30 June 2016 hail of one to two inches fell in a swath across the valley. Wind uplift at parapets, edges and rooftop equipment is where those storms find a weakness, so ask how edges and penetrations will be secured.

What we would want clarified. Reviews diverge sharply: 5.0 on HomeAdvisor against 4.5 across 26 Birdeye reviews, with some complaints about installation quality and customer service.

The 123 wind reports that shape a Las Vegas 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 1 county of the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 29 hail reports, 123 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 0 tornadoes. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $53.9 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
The biggest hail to fall on Las Vegas in a decade
| Date | Stone size | Reported near | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 June 2016 | 2.0 in | Boulder Jct | Clark |
| 23 September 2019 | 1.75 in | Searchlight | Clark |
| 3 June 2025 | 1.5 in | Bracken | Clark |
| 3 June 2025 | 1.0 in | Sunrise Manor | Clark |
| 5 June 2025 | 1.0 in | Las Vegas N Air Term | Clark |
| 5 June 2025 | 1.0 in | Las Vegas N Air Term | Clark |
The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 30 June 2016 near Boulder Jct, 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 68 knots, about 78 mph, near Pittman on 1 September 2019. Asphalt shingles begin lifting at roughly 67 mph when they are correctly nailed, and considerably below that when they are not.
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 1 September 2019 event near Boulder City, reproduced verbatim:
The peak gust occurred at 2313 PST. Several houseboats broke loose from their anchors and were pushed onshore, and a floating bathroom was pushed into a dock.
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 July (70), August (33), September (20). The worst years on record were 2025 (28), 2018 (24), 2021 (24). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in Las Vegas, 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. Hail is not the governing risk in Las Vegas. Weight your decision toward wind rating, ventilation and flashing detail rather than paying extra for impact-rated shingles.
What a Las Vegas homeowner should ask for in writing
Licensing is required in NV. Nevada requires a licence from the State Contractors Board to perform roofing work. Roofing sits under the C-15 classification, with C-15a covering the installation, alteration and repair of watertight roof materials including asphalt, tile, slate, shakes, metal and photovoltaic roof tiles.
A C-15 requires four years of certifiable roofing experience within the past 15 years, documented by current or former employers, plus passing both a trade exam and a Contractor Management Survey exam. Applicants submit current financial statements, and the board sets a bond between $1,000 and $500,000 based on financial responsibility, experience and character. Workers compensation is mandatory.
Check here: Nevada State Contractors Board licence search. Nevada licences carry a monetary limit set by the board. Confirm the contractor’s limit is above your project value, because work above the limit is outside the licence.
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.
How many certified roofers Las Vegas actually has
8 certified roofing contractors serve the principal cities of the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV statistical area, of which 0 hold the top President’s Club tier. The pool carries 660 customer reviews between them at a mean rating of 4.544. The statistical area had a 2024 population of 2,398,871, a change of 5.84% against the 2020 census base, per the U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2024 estimates.
How these Las Vegas rankings were produced
Every contractor in the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV 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 8 certified contractors, of whom 0 hold President’s Club standing and 3 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.544. 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.
Set aside in Las Vegas. A contractor that would otherwise have scored into the top five was removed for the reason stated. The score is computed from public data, but where the research pass finds evidence undermining an input to that score, the score is set aside.
- D&L Roofing LLC, which scored 57.6: would have ranked fourth on score, but public licence records indicate its Nevada State Contractors Board licence status was at one point recorded as cancelled. Nevada requires an active C-15 licence to perform roofing work. The record may since have been updated and The Roofing Brief makes no finding on the quality of the company’s work, but the same standard applied in Boston and Charlotte applies here: a ranking built on verifiable credentials cannot include a contractor whose mandatory licence cannot be confirmed as active

The questions that come up most in Las Vegas
Who is the best roofer in Las Vegas, NV?
The Roofing Company LLC of North Las Vegas, NV scores highest in the Las Vegas metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score, at 78.8 out of 100 as of September 2026. It holds Master Elite certification with a 4.9 rating across 151 reviews. Highest-scoring is not the same as best fit for your specific job, and the four companies behind it score within 23.8 points.
How many certified roofing contractors serve Las Vegas?
8 contractors on the GAF certification registry serve the principal cities of the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV statistical area as of September 2026, of which 0 hold President’s Club status.
How much damaging hail does Las Vegas get?
The Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV statistical area recorded 14 hail reports of 1 inch or larger and 1 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 Las Vegas in the last ten years?
The largest hailstone logged by the National Weather Service in the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV statistical area between 2016 and 2025 measured 2.0 inches, reported near Boulder Jct on 30 June 2016. 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 29 hail reports. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $53.9 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
When is the worst time of year for roof damage in Las Vegas?
Severe-weather reports in the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV statistical area cluster in July, August, September, 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 NV?
Nevada requires a licence from the State Contractors Board to perform roofing work. Roofing sits under the C-15 classification, with C-15a covering the installation, alteration and repair of watertight roof materials including asphalt, tile, slate, shakes, metal and photovoltaic roof tiles. A C-15 requires four years of certifiable roofing experience within the past 15 years, documented by current or former employers, plus passing both a trade exam and a Contractor Management Survey exam. Applicants submit current financial statements, and the board sets a bond between $1,000 and $500,000 based on financial responsibility, experience and character. Workers compensation is mandatory.
What should I check before hiring a roofer in Las Vegas?
Nevada licences carry a monetary limit set by the board. Confirm the contractor’s limit is above your project value, because work above the limit is outside the licence.
Is Las Vegas a hard market to find a good roofer in?
Las Vegas has the thinnest certified roofing market of any metro published so far. Only ten GAF-certified contractors serve the entire valley, against 25 in Dallas and 20 in Austin, and the metro mean rating of 4.54 is among the lowest in this programme. Scores on this page are therefore materially lower than elsewhere, and that is a real finding rather than a scoring artefact: the certified pool here is small and its tail is weak. Nevada does licence roofers properly, under the C-15 classification with four years of documented experience required, so the state licence lookup carries more weight in this metro than the certification tier does.
Is wind or hail the bigger risk to a roof in Las Vegas?
Wind, by a wide margin. The Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV statistical area logged 123 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports against 14 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.
Why is D&L Roofing LLC not on this list?
Would have ranked fourth on score, but public licence records indicate its Nevada State Contractors Board licence status was at one point recorded as cancelled. Nevada requires an active C-15 licence to perform roofing work. The record may since have been updated and The Roofing Brief makes no finding on the quality of the company’s work, but the same standard applied in Boston and Charlotte applies here: a ranking built on verifiable credentials cannot include a contractor whose mandatory licence cannot be confirmed as active.
