Public Records Check
- License Found We found a license number on file for Elm Roofing: 1044595, but haven't confirmed its current status directly with the California state licensing board. We recommend verifying it's active and in good standing with the California state licensing board before hiring.
- Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for Elm Roofing with the California Secretary of State. That doesn't mean the company isn't legitimate. Many roofers operate legally as sole proprietorships, which don't require registration, and a registered business can be filed under a different name, formed in another state, or created too recently for us to match. To confirm how the business is structured, ask the contractor or search the California Secretary of State directly.
- Residential Address Elm Roofing's listed address at 1485 Bayshore Blvd #320p, San Francisco, CA 94124 appears to be a residential 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.
- 2 Credentials As of Jun 13, 2026, Elm Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: GAF Master Elite President's Club, GAF Master Elite. 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 Elm Roofing (Google, Yelp), the blended average is 5.0 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.
