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.
- Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for Rising Star Roofing with the Connecticut 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 Connecticut Secretary of State directly.
- Business Address Rising Star Roofing's listed address at 12 sea Pave Rd., Bristol, CT 06074 appears to be a business 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 Rising Star 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.
- Good Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Rising Star Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 4.3 out of 5, which we label Good. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. A solid 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 Rising Star Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Yelp
Customer reviews of Rising Star present mixed experiences. Several reviewers praise the company's responsiveness and professionalism, with one customer reporting they received immediate service after a storm and describing the crew as friendly and professional, with competitive pricing. However, other reviewers report significant issues. One customer states that gutter installation was completed incorrectly, resulting in water overflow into their basement, and reports that attempts to contact the owner about the problem went unaddressed. Another reviewer reports the company failed to clean up after roof work, leaving nails on the property, and did not complete trim work for replaced skylights initially, though they note the work improved after follow-up. A fourth reviewer describes a negative appointment experience with a staff member named Chris, reporting unprofessional behavior including arriving late, remaining in his vehicle, and ultimately declining the job during the consultation.
