For the second consecutive year, Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal has secured the No. 7 spot on Engineering News-Record’s (ENR) 2026 Top Roofing Contractors list — a placement that carries extra weight given the company’s 18 appearances in the national Top 10 over the years. The ranking, announced from Wheeling, WV, on October 28, 2026, underscores the firm’s staying power in a highly competitive commercial roofing sector.
The latest recognition highlights Kalkreuth’s sustained leadership in commercial roofing, built on strong project performance and a consistent record of delivering high-quality roofing solutions across the country. It’s a signal to clients and competitors alike that the company’s operational standards remain steady, even as market conditions shift.
This year’s ranking is part of ENR’s broader 2026 Top 600 Specialty Contractors report, featured in the magazine’s October 2026 issue. Alongside its Top 10 roofing placement, Kalkreuth also landed within the top 45% of the full Top 600 list, which evaluates the nation’s leading specialty firms across a range of construction disciplines.

ENR’s annual rankings are based on revenue, measuring the largest specialty contractors in the United States across key trades including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, concrete, and roofing. For decades, the list has served as one of the construction industry’s most respected benchmarks for leadership, expertise, and achievement.
“Ranking #7 for the second year in a row shows our clients they can count on the same quality and safety on every project, in every market we serve,” said Josh Wack, National Accounts Development Manager at Kalkreuth. “That consistency comes from our people. Our union crews self-perform the work, and they take real pride in getting it right.”
Beyond the 18 Top 10 finishes, Kalkreuth has appeared among ENR’s Top 20 Roofing Contractors every year since the list was first published more than two decades ago — a track record that speaks to the company’s enduring excellence in the commercial roofing space.
