Roofing Write For Us
81 candidates found across six roofing phrasings, every one fetched. 28 were live and inviting contributions.
11 clear Open PageRank 2, and all 11 survived the hand review. That is the list below.
29 failed as off-topic. Like plumbing, this phrase surfaces a lot of contractor marketing agencies that are not publishers.
Almost every site here is a home improvement publication with a roofing section, not a roofing title. That is what the vertical is.
Before you send anything to a list like this one, the address quality decides the outcome. From 9,496 delivered emails in our own campaigns:
332 bounced, a 3.4% bounce rate, split 145 hard and 187 soft.
Hard bounces are the ones that damage a sending domain. Soft bounces are usually a full mailbox or a temporary block and can be retried.
A hand-built list of eleven sites will never generate a bounce problem. A scraped list of eleven hundred will, and that is the real argument for a short verified list over a long unverified one.
Sends deduplicated on the provider message id, 7 March to 27 August 2026, 25 workspaces.
Roofing behaves almost exactly like plumbing in search and almost nothing like it in editorial terms. The same home improvement publishers serve both, but the seasonal shape of roofing coverage gives a pitch a timing advantage that plumbing does not have.
How this list was built
Six phrasings covering roofing, roofers, roof repair, roof replacement, gutters and siding, with four contributor footprints each, produced 81 candidate domains.
Every candidate page was fetched and read. 28 passed verification. The 53 failures were 29 off-topic, 14 blocked, 5 selling placements and 5 unreachable.
The off-topic share mirrors plumbing almost exactly, and for the same reason: agencies serving roofing contractors rank well for this phrase and publish contributor pages, but they are not publications a placement would put you in front of.
Eleven of the twenty-eight verified sites clear Open PageRank 2. None were dropped in hand review, which is unusual and reflects how narrow the surviving pool already was.
Roofing sites accepting guest posts
Eleven sites, highest Open PageRank first. Several run separate submission paths per trade, so the same publisher may also take your plumbing or siding pitch.

You will notice a handful of these domains also appear on our plumbing list. That is not duplication in the lists, it is duplication in the market: a home improvement publisher builds one landing page per trade and accepts across all of them.
Roofing coverage is seasonal, and that is your opening
Roofing publishing follows weather in a way that beauty or automotive publishing does not. Storm season, the first freeze and the run-up to winter all generate a predictable spike in what these sites want to run.
That is an unusual advantage for a contributor, because it converts a cold pitch into a timely one. An editor who has just watched a storm system cross a region has an obvious gap to fill and a short window to fill it.
The corollary is that a seasonal pitch either lands inside its window or not at all. There is no value in a storm-damage piece arriving in the calm part of the year, and a reactive angle sent late reads worse than no pitch. Beauty and automotive have no equivalent window, which makes this the one vertical here where timing beats volume. The same timing logic drives reactive PR more generally.
Before you send anything to this list
Eleven addresses is small enough to check by hand, and that is the point. The bounce numbers above come from campaigns that were mostly well-built, and a 3.4% rate across nearly ten thousand sends still produced 145 hard bounces.
Hard bounces are what push a sending domain into trouble, and the damage is cumulative rather than per-campaign. Verifying eleven addresses costs a few minutes; recovering a burned domain does not.
Our free email verifier will check an address before you send to it, and the deliverability guide covers the wider setup if you are sending at any volume.
Reading a home improvement site's guidelines properly
The guidelines pages in this list are more prescriptive than in any other vertical we crawled, and they are prescriptive about things that are easy to get wrong by accident.
Word count floors are common and enforced. Several sites want original images, which for roofing means job photographs rather than stock. Several ban links to a commercial homepage while allowing a link to a resource, which is a distinction worth reading twice before choosing your target page.
Two more requirements appear repeatedly. An author bio establishing why you know roofing, which for a contractor is easy and for an agency writer is not. And exclusivity, meaning the piece cannot be republished elsewhere, which matters if you were planning to syndicate it.
None of this is unreasonable. It exists because these sites receive a large volume of near-identical contractor marketing, and the guidelines are the cheapest filter available to them.
One publisher, many trades
The structural fact of this vertical is that the publisher is almost never a roofing specialist. It is a home improvement title that has built a separate submission landing page for roofing, plumbing, siding, HVAC and whatever else it covers.
That is worth knowing before you pitch, because it tells you who reads the pitch. The person on the other end is a general editor, not a roofer, and a piece written in trade shorthand will not be assessed by someone who speaks it.
It also means one accepted pitch opens more than one door. An editor who ran your roofing piece has four other trade sections to fill, and the second pitch goes to someone who already knows your work rather than to a stranger.
The reverse risk is real too. Pitching the same publisher separately through three trade landing pages looks like automation, because it is what automation looks like. One relationship, several subjects, is the version that works.
Where roofing links come from besides guest posts
Eleven sites will not carry a roofing marketing plan on their own, and guest posting is not where most roofing links come from in any case. It is worth knowing what the alternatives look like before deciding how much effort this list deserves.
Supplier and manufacturer pages are the most reliable and the most ignored. Roofing manufacturers maintain certified installer directories, and being listed is usually a matter of paperwork you have already completed rather than a pitch you have to write.
Local sponsorship works for the same reason it works in every trade: a youth sports team, a community event or a charity build produces a genuine link from a genuinely local site, and it is a spend you may be making anyway.
Storm response is the one that is specific to this trade. When a weather event hits a region, local news needs someone who can explain what is happening to roofs, and a contractor who is reachable and articulate becomes a source rather than an advertiser. That is a better link than anything on this page, and it is earned by being available in a narrow window rather than by writing anything.
None of that argues against the list above. It argues for treating it as one input among several rather than the plan, which is the same conclusion our wider guide to building backlinks reaches.
Frequently asked questions
Are these roofing publications or general home improvement sites?
Almost all of them are home improvement publications that run a roofing section and a roofing-specific submission path. Dedicated roofing titles that accept outside contributions barely exist. Several of these publishers also appear on our plumbing list because they take contributions across every trade they cover.
When is the best time to pitch a roofing site?
Ahead of and during storm season, and in the run-up to winter. Roofing coverage tracks weather closely, which gives a contributor a timing advantage that most verticals do not offer. The flip side is that a seasonal angle sent outside its window will not be picked up at all.
Why did so many roofing candidates fail verification?
Twenty-nine of the eighty-one were off-topic, mostly marketing agencies serving roofing contractors rather than publishers. Fourteen were blocked by bot protection, five were selling placements and five were unreachable. Twenty-eight verified and eleven of those clear our Open PageRank 2 floor.
Should I verify these email addresses before pitching?
Yes, and with a list this size it takes minutes. Across 9,496 delivered emails in our own campaigns we saw 332 bounces, 145 of them hard. Hard bounces accumulate against your sending domain rather than resetting per campaign, so the cost of skipping the check is paid later.
Do roofing sites charge for guest posts?
Five of the eighty-one candidates we checked named a price on their submission page and were excluded from this list for it. Home services is commercially competitive, so paid placements are common. If you are quoted a fee, that is advertising and the link should carry the sponsored attribute.
