Public Records Check
- License Found As of Jun 19, 2026, the California state licensing board shows an active license for Roof Express: B - General Building, C39 - Roofing 1072766. 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 The California Secretary of State listed Roof Express as Active when we last checked on Jun 19, 2026, registered since 2019. You can confirm it's still current with the California Secretary of State.
- Mailbox (CMRA) Roof Express's listed address at 58 West Portal Ave, San Francisco, CA 94127 appears to be a mailbox (CMRA) address. A roofer using a mailbox isn't necessarily a problem, but it can make the company harder to reach or hold accountable. To reach them in person, ask the contractor for a physical address or confirm one directly.
- 3 Credentials As of Jun 13, 2026, Roof Express holds these manufacturer certifications: Owens Corning Preferred, CertainTeed ShingleMaster, GAF Authorized / GAF Certified. 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 Roof Express (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, GAF, CertainTeed), the blended average is 4.8 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.

CertainTeed
Reviewers report that ROOF Express generally delivers professional service with attention to detail. Several customers describe inspectors as knowledgeable and thorough in explaining issues and recommendations. Multiple reviewers praise project managers - particularly Habibi and Nav - for responsiveness, communication, and transparency regarding costs and timelines. Customers note that work is completed efficiently, often within promised timeframes, and that crews are professional and courteous. Many reviewers report satisfaction with the quality of materials and workmanship, including roof replacements, skylight installations, and chimney work. However, one reviewer reported significant issues including project delays without explanation, labor team departures mid-project, property damage (plants damaged, skylight broken, tar stains on home), a roof leak within a week of completion, and debris left in yards. This reviewer noted requiring multiple follow-up calls to address problems, though they acknowledged the project manager ultimately resolved these issues.
Review Signals Over Time
By sheer volume of Google reviews (a measure of how much feedback a firm has gathered) Roof Express ranks 7th of the 21 roofers we track in San Francisco, ahead of about 70% of them.
