News · Martinsburg, WVOrion Exteriors, a family-owned roofing, siding and gutter company in Martinsburg, WV, was voted Best Roofer in The Journal's 2026 Best of the Best Readers' Choice Awards. Readers choose the winners, so this award comes straight from homeowners across the Eastern Panhandle.
What Is The Journal's Best of the Best?
The Journal is the newspaper based here in Martinsburg. Its Best of the Best Readers' Choice Awards ask local readers to vote for their favorite businesses, one category at a time.
Neighbors do the voting. This year, they picked Orion Exteriors as the best roofer.
What Does This Award Mean to Us?
"This one means a lot, because it came from our neighbors," said Dustin Bowers, who owns Orion Exteriors with his wife, Kendra. "We live here. Our kids go to school here. Every vote came from somebody who trusted us with their home, or knows someone who did. We're grateful, and we'll keep earning it, one roof at a time."
We're a small, family-owned business. Most of our work comes from word of mouth. An award picked by readers is that word of mouth, written down.
Why Do Neighbors Choose Orion?
We asked ourselves that, too. Here's what our customers tell us, over and over, in their reviews:
- Straight answers. Plenty of our free inspections end with "you're good for a few more years." That costs us a job and earns us a neighbor.
- Photos of everything. Every estimate comes with photos and a sketch of your roof, handed to you during the visit. No mystery numbers.
- A HAAG Certified Inspector on your roof. Dustin Bowers, HCI #992004018. The courts and even insurance companies call him in to depose as a subject matter expert on roofing and code requirements.
- The same crews for 15+ years, managed directly by Orion and held to our standard.
- A phone that gets answered. Dustin or Kendra picks up. Monday through Saturday, 8 to 6, and 24/7 for emergencies.
- A warranty you can count on. Full replacements and new construction carry the Orion Lifetime Warranty™*, and it transfers when you sell.
Where Can You Read What Our Customers Say?
On our reviews page. Every review there is a real Google review, in the customer's own words. Read a few. You'll see the same names come up: Dustin, Kendra, and the crews who show up on time and leave the yard clean.
What Hasn't Changed?
Nothing that matters. The inspection is still free. Quotes still come line by line, with photos. Dustin still gets on the roof. We still work all over the Eastern Panhandle: Martinsburg, Inwood, Hedgesville, Charles Town, Ranson, Shepherdstown and Berkeley Springs, plus Hagerstown and Washington County, Maryland. See every town we serve.
If you voted for us, thank you. If we haven't met yet, we'd love to take a look at your roof.
