Public Records Check
- License Found We found a license number on file for Hard Hatters Roofing: DE2013605896, but haven't confirmed its current status directly with the Delaware state licensing board. We recommend verifying it's active and in good standing with the Delaware state licensing board before hiring.
- Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for Hard Hatters Roofing with the Delaware 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 Delaware Secretary of State directly.
- Residential Address Hard Hatters Roofing's listed address at 225 Maryland Ave, Elsmere, DE 19804 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.
- 0 Credentials Our automated search didn't find a manufacturer certification for Hard Hatters 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.
- Excellent Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Hard Hatters Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 5.0 out of 5, which we label Excellent. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score.
