Public Records Check
- Registration-Based Connecticut doesn't license roofing contractors; instead it requires a statewide contractor registration. We treat this check as met rather than penalise it, but we haven't independently verified this company's registration - confirm it directly with the state before hiring.
- Registered Corporation Brown Roofing's registered name carries a corporate suffix (LLC or Inc), but we have not matched it to a filing on the Connecticut Secretary of State. You can confirm how the business is registered, and its current status, directly with the Connecticut Secretary of State.
- Unverified Address Brown Roofing's listed address at 12 Progress Ave, Ansonia, CT 06483 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.
- 1 Credential Brown Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: VELUX Certified Installer. 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 Brown Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 4.5 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 4/5 public records for Brown Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
