Public Records Check
- Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for Ferris Home Improvements 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 Ferris Home Improvements'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.
- Unverified Address Ferris Home Improvements's listed address at 1908 Capitol Trail, Newark, DE 19711 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 Ferris Home Improvements 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 Ferris Home Improvements (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 3/5 public records for Ferris Home Improvements. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Owens Corning
Reviewers report mixed experiences with Ferris Home Improvements. Several customers praise specific designers - particularly Meredith and Emily - describing them as personable, trustworthy, and helpful with decision-making. Multiple reviewers commend the company's roof work, citing quick response times, professional crews, competitive pricing, and thorough warranties. Some customers report satisfaction with completed kitchen, bathroom, and deck projects, with several noting they would use the company again or refer friends. However, several reviewers describe significant concerns. One customer reported a project manager who made critical errors, including turning on a gas line instead of a water line. Another reviewer noted unfinished work and miscommunication about project scope. A third expressed frustration with the company's subcontracting model, describing absent project management, communication barriers with non-English-speaking subcontractors, material damage, planning errors, and a project that extended from four weeks to three months. One reviewer called the company "absolutely the worst contractor" citing delays and incomplete work.
