Choosing a roofing company involves more than calling the top Google result. The wrong choice could land you with a company that’s unlicensed or uninsured. Even worse, you could end up with a contractor who disappears before you even realize there’s a problem.
How do you find a roofing company that’s reliable and legitimate? What is the best way to evaluate a contractor for your roof?
At Equity Roofing, we’ve served hundreds of homeowners in the Northern Indiana area. We've worked on roofs following a bad contractor, and it isn’t only a matter of low-quality work. Our crew has seen unsecured roofs that could have posed a serious threat during storms. We’ve come to recognize what separates reliable companies from those cutting corners.
We are a 5-star roofing company and Platinum Preferred Contractor with Owens Corning. Our team follows strict standards for safety and quality, which is why we created this guide. Homeowners will learn how to spot red flags and ask the right questions to find the best roofer for their home!
In this homeowner’s guide, we’ll list 10 of the top roofing companies that serve Northern Indiana. We’ll rank them by our Golden Standard, available for homeowners to download for free.

As a disclaimer, Equity Roofing is included in this list of top roofers. While we are a direct competitor, we aim to remain as unbiased as possible. We recognize that Equity Roofing may not meet every need. No matter who you work with, you deserve excellent service from a trustworthy company.
The criteria below are the foundation for a top-grade roofing company:
Your roofer should be licensed and have insurance for general liability, workers' compensation for roofing staff, and auto insurance for all company vehicles.
Warning: Some policies do not cover roofing. Homeowners should ask to review their policy if they are uncertain about a company's insurance coverage.
Top roofing contractors can earn high-level status with manufacturers. This certification can be withdrawn if a company fails to uphold its standards. Certified top contractors are an excellent indicator of high-quality service.
Companies are marked as a Certified Top Contractor if they hold one of the following: Platinum Preferred Contractor (Owens Corning), Master Elite® Contractor (GAF), Select ShingleMaster™ (CertainTeed), Craftsman Premier Contractor (IKO), TAMKO Pro Certified Contractor Program (TAMKO), Atlas PRO+™ Platinum Level Contractor (Atlas)
This includes companies that hold a minimum of 4.8 rating and greater on Google. There should be public reviews on a third-party website. This ensures you aren't only being shown "the best" reviews, and can have an honest overview of their public image.
Multiple locations are considered in this rating, as new locations will often have fewer reviews starting out.
Trustworthy contractors should register product warranties on behalf of the client. They should also back their work with a workmanship guarantee.
Avoid vague or misleading language like “limited lifetime warranty” without substance. Your warranties should be thoroughly explained before you sign.
Roofing companies need a professional office you can visit. They should also have vehicles marked with their logos. This is as much for your safety as for your peace of mind.
The more a company invests in its business, the higher the chance it will remain in operation. Over half of roofing companies fail within the first 3 years. A 10-year workmanship guarantee is worthless if the company shuts down before it ends!
When ranking roofing companies for Northern Indiana, we used publicly sourced information. Equity Roofing has made every effort to remain as unbiased as possible. No company paid to be included on this list.
