Ten companies that work in Cary clear 4.7 stars and 100 Google reviews. We are one of them, and on our own published method we come sixth. Here is the whole list and the reasoning behind the order.
The criteria
What a company had to do to make this list
Two hard gates, then four things we looked at. All of it is public, so you can redo this yourself in an afternoon.
Gate one: 4.7 stars or better
On Google Maps, as reported in November 2026. Below 4.7 and the pattern of complaints usually stops being bad luck and starts being how the company runs.
Gate two: at least 100 reviews
A 5.0 from a couple of dozen people tells you very little. A hundred reviews is roughly where the average stops swinging on one bad week.
Works in Cary
An office in Cary, or Cary named on the company’s own service-area page. We are based on Western Blvd in Raleigh and cover Cary from there.
Manufacturer certification
GAF Master Elite and CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster are top tiers; GAF Certified and Certified Plus sit below. This decides which warranties a company can register on your roof.
Licensed and insured in North Carolina
Larger roofing jobs need a North Carolina general contractor license. Look any company up on the NC Licensing Board register before you sign.
Scope, claims and years trading
Whether they do gutters, siding or decks as well as roofs, whether they work with your insurance adjuster, and how long they have been trading where they say so.
We ranked on rating first, then review count, because those are the two numbers you can check without taking anyone’s word for it. The certifications and scope then tell you which company fits the job you actually have, which is a different question from who has the most stars.
The short version
If you only have a minute
Four picks out of the list below, and what each is actually for.
Best on the numbers
On Tops Roofing, at 5.0 stars from 637 Google reviews and serving Cary since 1991.
Best warranty tier
On Tops Roofing and Suretop Roofing hold GAF Master Elite; Legacy holds CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster.
Best for a job that is not only a roof
Lamar Homes Roofing, ranked 6. Roof, gutters, soffit and fascia, decks and painting under one contractor, and HOA paperwork handled. We publish this page and we are on it, which is why the criteria come before the list.
If you are filing a storm claim
Barkley-Jensen, Legacy, Pro Built Co, Suretop, Ultra and Lamar all advertise insurance claim help. Ask who will meet your adjuster before you sign.

The list
The 10 companies, ranked
Ordered by Google rating, then by review count. Nothing else moves the order.
1. On Tops Roofing, best for overall record in Cary
5.0 stars from 637 Google reviews. Serving Cary since 1991. GAF Master Elite and GAF President’s Club. ontopsroofing.com
Based on New Waverly Place in Cary, and serving the town since 1991 by its own account. GAF Master Elite with a President’s Club award, and 637 Google reviews at 5.0. On the two numbers anyone can check, nobody else here matches that.
Worth knowing. Their Cary page lists replacement, repair and inspections. If you also need decks or painting, that is a second contractor.
2. Artisan Quality Roofing, best for a roofer that never subcontracts
5.0 stars from 431 Google reviews. Apex office and showroom on US 64. Serving Cary since 2011, per its site. artisanqualityroofing.com
Roof inspections, repairs, full replacements, storm damage assessments and fascia work, all done by its own in-house crews rather than subcontractors, by its own account. 431 Google reviews at 5.0.
Worth knowing. Based in Apex rather than Cary, and roofing only: no gutters, siding or decks on its Cary page.
3. Barkley-Jensen Roofing and Restoration, best for roof plus siding and windows
5.0 stars from 395 Google reviews. Office at 2500 Regency Pkwy, Cary. A+ BBB rating, per their site. barkleyjensenroofing.com
Roofing, siding, gutters and windows, with insurance claim help and financing. Their Cary page says they work directly with adjusters and offer free same-day inspections.

4. Legacy Construction and Roofing, best for long track record and CertainTeed warranties
4.9 stars from 429 Google reviews. Located in Cary. Over 40 years in business and 10,000+ roofs, per their site. legacyconstructionroofing.com
A Cary company that says it has installed over 10,000 roofs in more than 40 years, with an A+ BBB rating. CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster, CertainTeed’s top residential tier, plus insurance claims and gutters.
Worth knowing. Their certification is CertainTeed rather than GAF, which matters only if you have your heart set on a GAF system warranty.

4.9 stars from 249 Google reviews. Office on Woodwinds Industrial Ct, Cary. A locally owned Storm Guard franchise. stormguardrc.com

4.9 stars from 192 Google reviews. Based in Raleigh, covering Cary. Family owned, licensed and insured. lamarhomes.net
That is us. GAF Certified, family owned and fully licensed and insured, with free inspections and a written report with photos. What we add is scope: roof, gutters, soffit and fascia, decks and painting under one contractor, and we handle the HOA paperwork that catches many Cary homeowners out. Veteran discounts are available. See our Cary roofing page.
Worth knowing. We are a GAF Certified contractor, not Master Elite, and our office is in Raleigh, not Cary. Our office hours are Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM.

4.9 stars from 148 Google reviews. HQ on Kildaire Farm Rd, Cary, with a second office in Nags Head. highlands-roofing.com
