Public Records Check
- Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for Windy City Flat Roof Inc with the Illinois 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 Illinois state licensing board or asking the contractor for their license number.
- Registered Corporation Windy City Flat Roof Inc's registered name carries a corporate suffix (LLC or Inc), but we have not matched it to a filing on the Illinois Secretary of State. You can confirm how the business is registered, and its current status, directly with the Illinois Secretary of State.
- Unverified Address Windy City Flat Roof Inc's listed address at 5601 W Belmont Ave, Chicago, IL 60634 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.
- 0 Credentials Our automated search didn't find a manufacturer certification for Windy City Flat Roof 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.

This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score.
