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 Rhino Back 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 Rhino Back Roofing's listed address at 524 Hopmeadow St, Simsbury Center, CT 06070 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.
- 2 Credentials Rhino Back Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, 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 Rhino Back Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, Owens Corning), the blended average is 4.4 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 Rhino Back Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
