Public Records Check
- License Found We found a license number on file for Shelton Roofing: 1050914, 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 Shelton 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.
- Unverified Address Shelton Roofing's listed address at 1245 E Cliff Dr, Santa Cruz, CA 95062 appears to be a unconfirmed 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.
- 0 Credentials Our automated search didn't find a manufacturer certification for Shelton 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.
- Okay Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Shelton Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 3.8 out of 5, which we label Okay. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. Averages like this can be pulled down by a few reviews or a single dispute, so treat it as a starting point and read the underlying reviews for context.
We verified 1/5 public records for Shelton Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Reviewers report mixed experiences with Shelton Roofing. Several customers praise the company's quality work, professionalism, communication, and customer service. One reviewer describes Brad Shelton as highly professional and attentive during a complex roof rebuild project with daily updates and responsive communication. However, other reviewers express significant concerns. Some customers report communication issues, including unreturned calls and emails, and delayed project scheduling. One reviewer describes being charged $1,900 for approximately 1.5 hours of labor on a leak repair and states the company declined to adjust the price. Another reviewer reports a worker was sent to repair the wrong roof, multiple project delays, and an unreturned $1,000 deposit after canceling the contract. A third reviewer notes the company contacted them offering incentives and a revised quote, then withdrew the bid without explanation. Another customer reports not receiving a callback regarding a missing estimate item. One reviewer suggests the company recommends roof replacement when other inspectors indicated years of remaining roof life.
