Public Records Check
- Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for Alternative Roofing with the Maryland 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 Maryland state licensing board or asking the contractor for their license number.
- Registered Corporation The Maryland Secretary of State listed Alternative Roofing as INCORPORATED when we last checked on Jul 3, 2026, registered since 2004. You can confirm it's still current with the Maryland Secretary of State.
- Business Address Alternative Roofing's listed address at 5511 Magie St, Baltimore, MD 21225 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 Alternative Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed ShingleMaster, Atlas Pro+ Gold. 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 Alternative Roofing (Google, Yelp, CertainTeed), the blended average is 4.5 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 Alternative Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
