Public Records Check
- License Found As of Jul 10, 2026, the California state licensing board shows an active license for Thomas Ford Roofing: C39 - Roofing 854663. An active license means the state currently authorizes this contractor to do this work. It doesn't speak to the quality of their work or their current insurance. License status can change, so you can confirm it's still active anytime with the California state licensing board.
- Registered Corporation Thomas Ford Roofing's registered name carries a corporate suffix (LLC or Inc), but we have not matched it to a filing on the California Secretary of State. You can confirm how the business is registered, and its current status, directly with the California Secretary of State.
- Business Address Thomas Ford Roofing's listed address at 2838 El Roya Avenue, Airport, CA 95354 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.
- 1 Credential Thomas Ford Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: Owens Corning Preferred. 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.
- Excellent Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Thomas Ford Roofing (Google, Yelp), the blended average is 4.6 out of 5, which we label Excellent. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. A high average reflects past customers' experiences, not a guarantee of yours, so read the underlying reviews and weigh them yourself.
We verified 5/5 public records for Thomas Ford Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
