The full answer
I can't name one "best" roofer. It depends on your job (repair, full replacement, metal roof, hail claim), and online ratings are only a rough guide. A quick search did turn up a few Helena companies with good reviews:
Companies with good reviews (Angi, Houzz):
- Christman Roofing / Montana Roofing Company LLC: 5-star review (2024) praising on-time arrival and finishing early.
- Hearen Industries LLC: 5-star review (2025) for a steep roof replacement, called professional and respectful.
- Riseaboveall LLC: recent 5-star review for fast, easy-to-work-with crews.
- Pure Peak Roofing: 4-star review (2023), recommended by the homeowner.
- J Lyman Roofing: 5-star review (2022) describing a professional, hard-working crew.
- Epic Exteriors and Ellingson Roofing LLC are also listed on Houzz. Epic has one 5-star review there.
Each of these is based on only a handful of reviews, so check them yourself.
How to choose:
- Get 3+ written quotes that list materials, underlayment, tear-off, cleanup and warranty.
- Check that they're registered with Montana. Contractors must register with the Montana Department of Labor & Industry. Ask for proof of liability and workers' comp insurance.
- Ask about manufacturer certifications (e.g., GAF, Owens Corning). Certified installers can offer stronger warranties.
- Check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Google reviews. Look for patterns over time, not single reviews.
- Ask for local references, ideally for jobs done a few years ago, so you know the roof held up through Helena winters.
- Watch out for storm chasers after hailstorms. Avoid anyone who wants a large payment up front or pushes you to sign quickly.
Neighbors, local Facebook groups or Nextdoor can also be very good for honest local recommendations.
