## Why we publish it

Before you start calling, it helps to know how many companies there are to choose from. A town with 40 roofers and a city with 1,700 call for different approaches. We count them so we can connect a request with one that fits, and the totals are free for anyone to use.

## What a count is

A count says how many companies do the work in a place. It is not a list, and it does not say a company is licensed, insured or recommended. [How we count](https://citypreferred.com/data-methodology).
