Public Records Check
- Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for JR Roofing with the California 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 California state licensing board or asking the contractor for their license number.
- Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for JR 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 JR Roofing's listed address at 517 E De La Guerra St, Santa Barbara, CA 93103 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.
- 1 Credential JR Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed ShingleMaster. 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 JR Roofing (Google, the Better Business Bureau), 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.
We verified 3/5 public records for JR Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Reviewers consistently praise JR Roofing's workmanship and professionalism. Several customers report that the company completed projects on time, within or near budget, and at fair pricing compared to competitors. Multiple reviewers describe the owner Arnold as knowledgeable, communicative, and personally involved in projects, with attention to detail and strong work ethic. Customers report satisfaction with various roofing work, including full roof replacements, historic home restoration, and additional services like gutters and insulation. Several reviewers note no leaks after completion and express willingness to hire the company again or refer it to others. However, two reviewers reported negative experiences. One customer stated the company failed to provide an estimate for weeks despite reminders and described poor communication. Another reviewer reported that the work site was not cleaned, resulting in nails damaging nearby tenants' car tires, and stated the company did not respond to multiple contact attempts via email, Facebook, and text.
