Public Records Check
- License Found We found a license number on file for Reliable Roofing: 017681, but haven't confirmed its current status directly with the Illinois state licensing board. We recommend verifying it's active and in good standing with the Illinois state licensing board before hiring.
- Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for Reliable Roofing with the Illinois 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 Illinois Secretary of State directly.
- Business Address Reliable Roofing's listed address at 450 IL-22, Forest Lake, IL 60047 appears to be a business 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.
- 1 Credential Reliable Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: Carlisle Authorized Applicator. 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 Reliable Roofing (Google, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 4.9 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.
We verified 4/5 public records for Reliable Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

This same reviewer noted that management subsequently addressed some garbage and safety issues on a later project.
