Public Records Check
- Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for Fortress Roofing Inc with the Florida 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 Florida state licensing board or asking the contractor for their license number.
- Registered Corporation Fortress Roofing Inc's registered name carries a corporate suffix (LLC or Inc), but we have not matched it to a filing on the Florida Secretary of State. You can confirm how the business is registered, and its current status, directly with the Florida Secretary of State.
- Residential Address Fortress Roofing Inc's listed address at 2409 4th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33713 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 Fortress Roofing Inc. 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.
- Okay Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Fortress Roofing Inc (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 3.7 out of 5, which we label Okay. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. Averages like this can be pulled down by a few reviews or a single dispute, so treat it as a starting point and read the underlying reviews for context.
We verified 2/5 public records for Fortress Roofing Inc. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Yelp
Reviewers report mixed experiences with Fortress Roofing. Several customers describe positive interactions, with one noting responsive service and completion of a flat roof replacement, and another expressing satisfaction with the company. However, multiple reviewers report significant concerns. One customer experienced a leak in a newly installed roof and describes frustration with staff responses, crediting one sales representative (Robert) for eventually arranging repairs but criticizing support staff. Another reviewer reports that the company refused to address a leak in a roof installed less than a year prior, citing a non-transferable warranty policy, and characterizes this as unethical. A third reviewer describes an unresolved leak issue from October 2015, stating that despite paying for a tune-up and multiple follow-up attempts, the company failed to respond to calls and emails regarding the recurring problem.
