Public Records Check
- Registration-Based Iowa doesn't license roofing contractors; instead it requires a statewide contractor registration. We treat this check as met rather than penalise it, but we haven't independently verified this company's registration - confirm it directly with the state before hiring.
- Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for Bakeris Roofing with the Iowa 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 Iowa Secretary of State directly.
- Business Address Bakeris Roofing's listed address at 10391 NE University Ave, Runnells, IA 50237 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.
- 2 Credentials Bakeris Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, TAMKO Pro Platinum. 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 Bakeris Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, Owens Corning), the blended average is 4.7 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 Bakeris Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
