About American Shingle Co.

Our Mission & Business Model

Finding a dependable, licensed, and honest roofing contractor is often stressful and time-consuming. American Shingle Co. simplifies the process by operating a nationwide referral network focused 100% on shingle roofing systems.

Transparency First: We are a consumer referral matching service, not a direct general contractor. We do not maintain localized construction crews or perform physical roofing work. Instead, we match your project details with independent, local roofing contractors who have demonstrated active trade licensing, comprehensive insurance coverage, and compliance with local municipal building code authorities.

Contractor Vetting Standards

Every independent contractor in our referral network must meet rigorous standards prior to receiving project referrals:

• State & Municipal Licensing: Proof of current trade licensing in jurisdictions that require it (e.g. California C-39, Florida CCC, Michigan M&A), or verified municipal contractor registrations in states without statewide roofing boards.
• Active Insurance Verification: Minimum $1,000,000 general liability insurance and active statutory worker's compensation coverage.
• Code & Permit Adherence: Commitment to pulling required building department permits for all major replacements.
• Rapid Response Commitment: Agreement to contact inquiring property owners within 30 to 90 minutes during standard business hours.

Our Editorial Review Board

All cost data, technical specifications, and educational guides published on 1-stop-roofing.com are reviewed by our Building Envelope and Roof Consultant, Marcus Vance, CRC. We cite primary sources including ASTM International standards, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) test protocols, and adopted editions of the International Residential Code (IRC).

Zero Cost to Homeowners

Using American Shingle Co. to connect with a roofing contractor is completely free of charge to homeowners. We receive referral compensation directly from partner contractors when we connect them with qualified homeowners in their service territory. This model allows us to deliver free educational resources, transparent pricing guides, and fast phone connections without adding markups to your roofing project.
