Public Records Check
- License Found As of Jul 10, 2026, the Illinois state licensing board shows an active license for Waukegan Roofing: 104000761. An active license means the state currently authorizes this contractor to do this work. It doesn't speak to the quality of their work or their current insurance. License status can change, so you can confirm it's still active anytime with the Illinois state licensing board.
- Registered Corporation Waukegan Roofing'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.
- Business Address Waukegan Roofing's listed address at 956 Campus Drive, Mundelein, IL 60060 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.
- 4 Credentials Waukegan Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster, Elevate Licensed Contractor, Carlisle Hall of Fame, NRCA Membership - member since 1956. 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.
