Public Records Check
- Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for McMahon Services 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.
- Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for McMahon Services 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.
- Unverified Address McMahon Services's listed address at 44 W. Belvidere Road, Gages Lake, IL 60030 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 McMahon Services. 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.
- Good Ratings Across the platforms we identified for McMahon Services (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 4.2 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.
