Short answer: As of October 2026, the five highest-scoring roofing contractors in the Chico, CA metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are Allegiant Roofing (86.6), Butte Roofing Co (79.8), Chico Roofing (71.4), Thurman Roofing and Construction (69.7), Baird Roofing Co (64.3). All of them carry a verifiable manufacturer certification, every rating here was cross-checked against an independent record, and no money changed hands for any placement.
The Roofing Brief scored 6 certified roofing contractors serving the Chico metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top five individually to confirm its record. Butte County’s roofs are now governed by fire first. The Camp Fire destroyed 18,804 structures in 2018, and in 2024 the Park Fire started inside Chico, in Bidwell Park. Under California’s new wildland-urban interface code, replacing half or more of a roof in a hazard area means a Class A roof, and in Chico’s climate zone the same reroof must also be a cool roof. California licenses roofers with a C-39 classification and a public register, and all six certified firms in the directory are licensed in Butte County; five are ranked, all based in Chico.
Why a Chico roof fails slowly rather than suddenly
Contracting without a Contractors State License Board licence is a misdemeanour in California, punishable on a first conviction by a fine of up to $5,000 or six months in jail. The minor-work exemption covers only jobs under $1,000 that need no permit, so a permitted reroof never qualifies. Every contractor must keep a $25,000 bond on file, and every active C-39 roofing licensee must carry workers’ compensation whether or not it has employees. On 5 October 2026 the board’s list of C-39 roofing licensees with a Butte County address held 44 entries.
California has no roofing-specific statute on waiving insurance deductibles of the kind some hail states have; secretly absorbing a deductible while billing the insurer falls under general insurance fraud law. The protection that matters most in practice is the licence lookup: it shows the classification, the bond and the workers’ compensation policy on file, and whether the licence is clear.
The City of Chico issues reroof permits over the counter. Two codes then apply to the roof itself. The 2025 Energy Code treats Chico, Oroville and Paradise as Climate Zone 11, so replacing half or more of a steep-slope roof requires a cool roof with at least 0.20 aged solar reflectance, unless the home has R-38 ceiling insulation, a qualifying radiant barrier or deck insulation. And the fire rules described below set the fire class. The city’s own FAQ still describes Class A, B or 25-year roofing, wording that predates the new Class A rule in hazard zones.
Hail and wind are almost absent: across 2016 to 2025 Butte County logged three hail reports, the largest one inch, and five thunderstorm wind reports, none severe. The county’s $4 million of recorded storm damage is essentially one hay barn and stable near Oroville in 2019. Heat is the stress, with highs of 105 to 120 degrees across the northern Sacramento Valley in July 2024. Chico’s median home was built in 1986, and 58.1 percent of its homes are rented, a university-town figure.

1. Allegiant Roofing — TRB Score 86.6
Allegiant Roofing is based in Chico, CA, in business since 2022, led by Cody Pitts, owner; Christian DeLuca, co-founder, BBB accredited since 30 January 2026, A+ rating, no complaints in three years, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.

- Accredited since 30 January 2026 with an A+ rating, business start 25 December 2022, no complaints closed in three years.. BBB business profile
What they actually do. Residential and commercial reroof, repairs and inspections, solar removal and reinstall through an affiliated solar company.
Why it ranks here. A perfect 5.0 across 106 reviews with Master Elite certification, the strongest record in the pool, from a Chico roofer on Nord Avenue whose owner was raised in Paradise. It holds a clear C-39 roofing licence.
Best fit for: Homeowners with rooftop solar that has to come off and go back on.
What we would want clarified. The company is young: it began trading in December 2022 and was licensed in May 2023, so its 25 years of experience refers to staff, not the business. Its BBB accreditation dates only from January 2026. It is a different business from Allegiant Roofing Systems of Tracy. Certification tier and reviews are unverified. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.
Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (530) 720-8998, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.
2. Butte Roofing Co — TRB Score 79.8
Butte Roofing Co is based in Chico, CA, led by Mike Starnes, owner (BBB), Not accredited; A+ rating; no complaints in three years, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: Master Elite (GAF), Owens Corning network member. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

What they actually do. Residential shingle, tile and metal; commercial PVC and TPO single-ply; leak service and maintenance programmes.
Why it ranks here. Chico’s heritage roofer: a four-generation family business that dates its roots to the 1950s, with its current C-39 licence held since 1989, Master Elite certification and a 4.8 across 66 reviews.
Best fit for: Tile and metal roofs, and owners who want a maintenance programme.
What we would want clarified. Its founding year is 1950 on its own site and 1958 on BBB. The workers’ compensation policy in the licensing board’s file ran to 1 October 2026; the licence still showed clear, but ask for the current certificate. It is not BBB accredited.

What they actually do. Roofing, with gutters, insulation, skylights and solar.
Why it ranks here. Trading since February 2000, with BBB and the licensing board agreeing on the date, and holding both general building and C-39 roofing classifications, which lets it take on structural repairs alongside the roof. Master Elite certified.
Best fit for: Reroofs that also need deck, framing or insulation work, including the cool roof insulation alternatives.
What we would want clarified. Its 4.4 across 30 reviews is the lowest rating in the top five, and BBB shows it as not rated rather than giving a grade.

What they actually do. Roof replacement and inspections, leak repair and storm damage work.
Why it ranks here. A perfect 5.0 across 39 reviews from a Chico roofer holding both general building and C-39 roofing classifications on a licence first issued in 2012.
Best fit for: Repairs and smaller reroofs where an owner-run firm suits.
What we would want clarified. Its business history is unclear: the licence dates from 2012, but BBB’s file starts in October 2024, and a corporation of the same name was filed in 2025 while the licence remains a sole ownership.

8 severe weather reports in a decade, and why that matters in Chico
Aggregate hail counts tell you very little about a specific roof. These are the individual events: every severe-weather report logged by the National Weather Service across the 1 county of the Chico, CA statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 3 hail reports, 5 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 2 tornadoes. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $4.0 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
The biggest hail to fall on Chico in a decade
| Date | Stone size | Reported near | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 October 2016 | 1.0 in | Chico | Butte |
| 6 March 2023 | 0.75 in | Chico | Butte |
| 23 March 2019 | 0.25 in | Butte | Butte |
The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 2 October 2016 near Chico, measured at 1.0 inches. One inch is the point at which hail starts bruising asphalt shingles, which is damage an adjuster can find even when a homeowner cannot.
Wind. The strongest thunderstorm gust logged in the metro was 55 knots, about 63 mph, near Chico on 14 January 2023. Asphalt shingles begin lifting at roughly 67 mph when they are correctly nailed, and considerably below that when they are not.
Tornadoes. 2 tornadoes touched down in these counties over the decade, the strongest rated EF1 near (Cic)Chico Muni Arpt on 19 December 2023.
What the National Weather Service wrote about it
The NWS logs a written account of each severe-weather episode. This is its description of the 24 May 2019 event near Pulga, reproduced verbatim:
A PGE weather station on Concow Road at an elevation of 2785 feet reported a 58 MPH wind gust. Prior to this observation the station reported gusts between 35-44 MPH.
That is the kind of damage a roof in this metro has to be specified against, described by the agency that recorded it rather than by a contractor selling the repair.
When it happens. Severe weather reports cluster in March (2), October (1), May (1). The worst years on record were 2019 (4), 2023 (4), 2016 (1). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in Chico, the months outside that window are when crews are least stretched and least likely to be triaging emergency callouts ahead of your job.
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database, county-level detail files 2016 to 2025, filtered to the counties of this statistical area by The Roofing Brief. Damage figures are as reported to the NWS and undercount insured losses.
What to do with this. Hail is not the governing risk in Chico. Weight your decision toward wind rating, ventilation and flashing detail rather than paying extra for impact-rated shingles.
Camp Fire to Park Fire: why fire class comes first
The Camp Fire started at 6:33 on the morning of 8 November 2018 near Jarbo Gap, above Paradise. Driven by gusty northeast winds of up to 52 mph across record-dry fuel, it burned 153,336 acres and destroyed 18,804 structures, among them 13,696 homes, and killed 85 people by CAL FIRE’s count. Over 27,000 people were evacuated from Paradise, Magalia, Concow and nearby communities, and smoke cut visibility to a mile across the valley floor in Chico.
Paradise has been rebuilding ever since: 27 homes in the first year, more than 1,000 by the third, and more than 2,500 new homes and apartments by the fifth, by the town’s own count. Its median home is now from 1992, newer than the county’s 1983.
Then fire came to Chico itself. CAL FIRE gives the origin of the Park Fire as off Upper Park Road in Bidwell Park, Chico, on 24 July 2024. It burned 429,603 acres across Butte and Tehama counties and destroyed 713 structures, the fourth largest wildfire in the state’s records.
Since 1 January 2026 the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code governs building in hazard areas, and it reaches existing roofs. Section 507.1 says a roof covering that is replaced, or that has 50 percent or more replaced within twelve months, must be replaced with the covering required for new construction, and section 504.2 requires that to be a Class A assembly. Outside hazard areas the residential code still asks for at least Class C on a replacement of more than half the roof. Butte County consulted in 2025 on the state’s updated fire hazard maps, which redraw where these rules apply.
For a Chico homeowner the two codes line up. A Class A shingle or metal product that is also rated for solar reflectance satisfies the fire rule and the cool roof rule in one purchase. Ask the roofer which hazard zone your address is in, which fire class the full assembly carries, and for the cool roof compliance form that goes with the permit.

What a Chico homeowner should ask for in writing
Licensing is required in CA. California requires a Contractors State License Board licence for any job where labour and materials combined reach $1,000 or more, a threshold raised from $500 by Assembly Bill 2622 on 1 January 2025. The exemption never covers a reroof, because the Board treats any work that needs a permit as requiring a licence whatever its value. Roofing is the C-39 classification; a B General Building licence can also cover it.
A C-39 qualifier must document at least four years of journey-level experience and pass both a trade examination and a law and business examination. Every active licence carries a $25,000 contractor’s bond, and C-39 roofing licensees must carry workers’ compensation whether or not they have employees: roofing is one of the few classifications that cannot file the no-employee exemption.
Check here: CSLB Check a License. The CSLB record also shows complaint and disciplinary history, including citations and accusations. Treat any status other than Active as disqualifying.
Four checks to run before you sign anything, in any state.
- Verify certification at the source. Use the GAF verification tool rather than trusting a badge image on a company website.
- Get the certificate of insurance from the insurer, not the contractor, and confirm general liability and workers compensation are both active on the day work starts.
- Confirm who pulls the permit. If a contractor asks you to pull it as the homeowner, that moves liability onto you. Decline.
- Get warranty terms in writing before any deposit, and check the manufacturer warranty being promised actually requires the certification tier the contractor holds.

How these Chico rankings were produced
Every contractor in the Chico, CA pool was scored out of 100 on four published components: certification tier, a Bayesian adjusted rating, review depth and distance from the metro centre. In this metro that meant scoring 6 certified contractors, of whom 0 hold President’s Club standing and 3 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.817. The top five were then researched individually against Better Business Bureau records, state licence registers and manufacturer directories. Good and bad findings are published together, and no contractor paid for a place here.
The full method, the weightings, what the GAF certification tiers actually mean, who is eligible to be ranked and what we do not claim are all set out on our roofer ranking methodology page.

What was the worst hailstorm in Chico in the last ten years?
The largest hailstone logged by the National Weather Service in the Chico, CA statistical area between 2016 and 2025 measured 1.0 inches, reported near Chico on 2 October 2016. One inch is the point at which hail starts bruising asphalt shingles, which is damage an adjuster can find even when a homeowner cannot. Across the decade the metro recorded 3 hail reports. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $4.0 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
When is the worst time of year for roof damage in Chico?
Severe-weather reports in the Chico, CA statistical area cluster in March, October, May, on the NOAA record for 2016 to 2025. Scheduling discretionary work away from that window tends to get you a better crew and a faster start, because nobody is juggling emergency callouts.
Do roofers need a licence in CA?
California requires a Contractors State License Board licence for any job where labour and materials combined reach $1,000 or more, a threshold raised from $500 by Assembly Bill 2622 on 1 January 2025. The exemption never covers a reroof, because the Board treats any work that needs a permit as requiring a licence whatever its value. Roofing is the C-39 classification; a B General Building licence can also cover it. A C-39 qualifier must document at least four years of journey-level experience and pass both a trade examination and a law and business examination. Every active licence carries a $25,000 contractor’s bond, and C-39 roofing licensees must carry workers’ compensation whether or not they have employees: roofing is one of the few classifications that cannot file the no-employee exemption.
What should I check before hiring a roofer in Chico?
The CSLB record also shows complaint and disciplinary history, including citations and accusations. Treat any status other than Active as disqualifying.
Camp Fire to Park Fire: why fire class comes first?
The Camp Fire started at 6:33 on the morning of 8 November 2018 near Jarbo Gap, above Paradise. Driven by gusty northeast winds of up to 52 mph across record-dry fuel, it burned 153,336 acres and destroyed 18,804 structures, among them 13,696 homes, and killed 85 people by CAL FIRE’s count. Over 27,000 people were evacuated from Paradise, Magalia, Concow and nearby communities, and smoke cut visibility to a mile across the valley floor in Chico.
Is Chico a hard market to find a good roofer in?
Butte County’s roofs are now governed by fire first. The Camp Fire destroyed 18,804 structures in 2018, and in 2024 the Park Fire started inside Chico, in Bidwell Park. Under California’s new wildland-urban interface code, replacing half or more of a roof in a hazard area means a Class A roof, and in Chico’s climate zone the same reroof must also be a cool roof. California licenses roofers with a C-39 classification and a public register, and all six certified firms in the directory are licensed in Butte County; five are ranked, all based in Chico.
Is wind or hail the bigger risk to a roof in Chico?
Wind, by a wide margin. The Chico, CA statistical area logged 5 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports against 1 hail reports of an inch or more between 2016 and 2025. Wind damage shows up at the rake, ridge and edge rather than across the field of the roof, so the fastening schedule and edge detail matter more here than the impact rating of the shingle.
