Public Records Check
- Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for Hinkle Roofing with the Alabama state licensing board. That doesn't mean the company is unlicensed. A license can be held under a different business name, registered too recently for us to match, or filed in a way our search didn't catch. We recommend confirming directly with the Alabama state licensing board or asking the contractor for their license number.
- Registered Corporation The Alabama Secretary of State listed Hinkle Roofing as Exists when we last checked on Jun 30, 2026, registered since 1998. You can confirm it's still current with the Alabama Secretary of State.
- Business Address Hinkle Roofing's listed address at 639 1st Ct N, Birmingham, AL 35203 appears to be a business address. This means the company operates from a real, locatable address rather than a mailbox or PO box, which can make it easier to reach them or resolve issues. Many roofers legitimately work from a home address, so this doesn't speak to the quality of their work, license, or insurance.
- 5 Credentials As of Jun 11, 2026, Hinkle Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: GAF Master Elite President's Club, GAF Master Elite, CertainTeed ShingleMaster, Haag Certified Inspector - Residential, Carlisle Authorized Applicator. These show the company met a manufacturer's program requirements and may offer manufacturer-backed warranties, but they aren't independent quality audits. You can confirm current status with the manufacturer.
- Good Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Hinkle Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, CertainTeed), the blended average is 4.4 out of 5, which we label Good. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. A solid average reflects past customers' experiences, not a guarantee of yours, so read the underlying reviews and weigh them yourself.
We verified 4/5 public records for Hinkle Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Some reviewers also mention that actual work is performed by subcontracted crews rather than company employees.
