Public Records Check

  • Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for John Steele Roofing with the Delaware state licensing board. That doesn't mean the company is unlicensed. A license can be held under a different business name, registered too recently for us to match, or filed in a way our search didn't catch. We recommend confirming directly with the Delaware state licensing board or asking the contractor for their license number.
  • Registered Corporation John Steele Roofing's registered name carries a corporate suffix (LLC or Inc), but we have not matched it to a filing on the Delaware Secretary of State. You can confirm how the business is registered, and its current status, directly with the Delaware Secretary of State.
  • Residential Address John Steele Roofing's listed address at 2150, 1216 Bayview Rd, Middletown, DE 19709 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.
  • 2 Credentials John Steele Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: TAMKO Pro Platinum, 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 John Steele Roofing (Google, the Better Business Bureau, TAMKO), the blended average is 4.7 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.

Multiple customers describe the team as courteous, efficient, and knowledgeable, with several noting competitive pricing and thorough cleanup after jobs. Reviewers appreciate the company's family ownership and licensed, insured status. However, one reviewer reports a negative experience involving an unresolved roof leak, an unauthorized repair charge, and lack of follow-up communication despite promises to return.

About this average rating

This figure is a straightforward average of the public ratings we’ve gathered for this company across the following review platforms that our systems have identified: Google, the Better Business Bureau, TAMKO. It is not a proprietary RooferWatch score or a judgement of our own; each source is converted to a common five-star scale and blended into a single number so that no one platform’s reviews carry outsized weight, giving a more balanced read on overall sentiment. We’d still encourage you to read the underlying reviews on each platform and weigh them for yourself.
