Are there English-speaking roofers in Lisbon?

Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.

What should I check before hiring roofers in Lisbon?

Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.

What is the most important thing to know before booking?

Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.

What should I avoid when hiring roofers in Lisbon?

Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.

How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?

A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.

How do you say roofers in Portuguese?

In Portuguese, roofers are usually called telhados e coberturas. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.

How do I find roofers I can trust in Lisbon?

Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.

Review of Carlos, Jul 2026

I first hired Carlos for small jobs like fixing a broken blind and some light switches, and then I asked him about a hot water problem we had for years after 15 or 20 plumbers could not sort it out. He was very clever, ran some quick and very clear tests, found the blockage, and fixed it by putting in a bypass pipe, and he also painted the kitchen and installed a ceiling light. He gets on with the job, has everything with him, and there is no interruption, he is quiet, clean, and not problematic. I have not found a handyman as clever as Carlos, he was outstanding and I am so happy with the work.

Review of Shyam, Sep 2026

Shyam is still doing things at my home and at the house next door, including fixing the roof and doing the rest of the things that came up. He was working this week and is still finishing things, and it has all been good. He knows how to be and knows how to work, and I even recommended him for the house next door. The price felt fair, even if something outside the budget came up, which is normal.

Review of Carlos, Jun 2026

I’m pretty happy with Carlos and his work. He came and fixed all the stuff that I listed, even did an extra job, and he handled a complex problem with wrong deliveries and ordering different parts from different vendors on his own. He always brought what he needed, kept me updated in English on WhatsApp, and told me clearly what needed two weeks and what needed a few days. It was a bit on the pricey side for me, but I can strongly recommend him, and I will be using his services again.
