Roofing is hot, high, heavy and full of people who have opinions about a job they have never done. Which is exactly why roofers are funnier than most trades.


Here are the best roofing memes we have collected, plus two things further down that are not memes but come from the same place: the excuses everybody makes, and the things everybody says when they mean something else.


We build roofing websites and run roofing SEO for a living, one roofer per market. But not today. Today we scroll.


Roofing Jokes, Puns and One-Liners


Memes need a screen. These you can use on the crew, at the supply house, or on a homeowner who is standing too close to the ladder.


The ones roofers actually laugh at


  • How many roofers does it take to change a lightbulb? None. That is an electrician problem and we are not touching it.
  • What do you call a roofer who finishes on schedule? Retired.
  • My wife asked why I am always exhausted. I told her I climbed three hundred and forty feet today. She pointed out we live in a bungalow. I said yes. Forty times.
  • The estimate said three days. That was three days ago. It is still three days.
  • What is the difference between a roofer and a large pizza? A large pizza can feed a family of four.
  • Why do roofers make terrible poker players? Everything is written on the face and half of it is sunburn.
  • A roofer never says the job is small. He says the job is straightforward. Those are different words for a reason.


Homeowner jokes



  • A homeowner asked if I could just patch it. I asked if he takes one aspirin for a broken leg.
  • A roofer, a homeowner and an insurance adjuster walk into a bar. The adjuster says the bar is not covered.
  • Homeowner: how long will this take? Roofer: how long has the leak been there? Homeowner: about two years. Roofer: then you can give me a week.
  • The neighbor always quotes half. The neighbor is also always available, which should tell you something.
  • Every roof is fine until somebody opens the attic hatch. Nobody has ever opened an attic hatch and been pleased.
  • What do you call a homeowner who does his own flashing? A future customer.


Puns, for which we apologize


  • I was going to tell a roofing joke but it went over your house.
  • Roofing is the only trade where you are expected to be on top of things.
  • I used to be a roofer. Then I fell off. Now I am grounded.
  • Never trust a roofer with no shingles left. He has clearly got a lot on his plate already.
  • My roofer said he works best under pressure. I said that is a washer, and he is fired.
  • What is a roofer’s least favourite instrument? The gutter guitar. It has no strings and it is full of leaves.


The one every roofer has lived


A homeowner calls at nine at night. There is water coming through the ceiling. The roofer drives out, climbs up in the dark, and finds a tarp somebody nailed down eleven years ago with roofing cement and hope.


He comes back down and says: good news, I found the problem. Bad news, so did everyone before me.


The Excuse Generator


Every roofer has a list. Here it is, with an honesty rating attached to each one.

Fair warning: the most honest option scores 100% and it is not one you would send to a customer.

Your website says things too.

Usually “we're a family-owned company committed to quality,” which translates to nothing at all. See what yours is actually saying.

That's All Folks—Hope You Had A Good Laugh!


Right, Back to Work


Hope that was worth the five minutes.


If you came here for a laugh and stayed for the part where your phone is not ringing enough — that is the actual job we do. One roofing company per market, and we start by showing you where you rank across your whole service area rather than from your own parking lot.



No pitch needed. Run the free 40-point website inspection yourself and see what it turns up. Takes about ten minutes. And if you are naming a new crew truck or finally fixing that tagline, we built a roofing slogan builder too.
