Roofing Contractor offered roofing companies an opportunity to be part of its list of the Top 100 roofing contractors in the United States.

We asked companies to share their total revenue last year, as well as their peak number of staff members and what percentage of their work was residential versus commercial.

The rankings are based solely on annual revenue, and participation was voluntary. When final tabulations were compiled the companies who responded made up an eclectic group whose 2008 sales revenue ranged between $547 million and $2 million.

At the top of the list is Tecta America Corp., headquartered in Skokie, Ill., whose 29 divisions, 50 locations and 3,000 roofing professionals combined for more than $547 million in revenue last year. The company strives to leverage flexibility at the local level with the economies of scale the entire company can bring to bear.

No. 2 on the list is CentiMark Corp. of Pittsburgh, a family-owned commercial contracting company that knows what it takes to make its clients happy. With $420 million in total revenue last year, CentiMark Corp. continues to make strides despite a tough economic climate.

Take a look at the profiles of these companies on the next few pages to see how some of the largest roofing contractors in the country are handling the economic downturn and meeting and exceeding the needs of their customers and maintaining a challenging and safe work environment for their employees.

Note: The information on this list was self-reported by respondents between February and July of 2009.
