Public Records Check
- License Found As of Jul 11, 2026, the California state licensing board shows an active license for Modern Method Roofing: B - General Building, C39 - Roofing 704733. 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 Modern Method 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 Modern Method Roofing's listed address at 180 Coombs Street, Napa, CA 94559 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.
- 0 Credentials Our automated search didn't find a manufacturer certification for Modern Method Roofing. Many reputable roofers aren't certified by any manufacturer, often by choice, so this isn't a sign of a problem. If a manufacturer-backed warranty matters to you, ask the contractor which certifications they carry.
- Good Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Modern Method Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 4.2 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 Modern Method Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
