Public Records Check
- License Found We found a license number on file for Shumaker Roofing: 062924, but haven't confirmed its current status directly with the Maryland state licensing board. We recommend verifying it's active and in good standing with the Maryland state licensing board before hiring.
- Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for Shumaker Roofing with the Maryland 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 Maryland Secretary of State directly.
- Business Address Shumaker Roofing's listed address at 26 Water St., Frederick, MD 21701 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 Shumaker Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed ShingleMaster Premier, VELUX Certified Installer. 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 Shumaker Roofing (Google, the Better Business Bureau, CertainTeed), the blended average is 4.8 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 Shumaker Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Several customers highlight the company's assistance with insurance claims. Reviewers note quick completion times and high-quality workmanship. One long-term customer reports satisfaction with work performed over many years. However, one reviewer expresses frustration with warranty-related support, stating that after requesting an inspection in 2023, the company performed minor repairs but did not provide a clear recommendation and did not return multiple phone calls regarding whether roof replacement was needed. This same reviewer notes dissatisfaction with how a 2020 warranty concern was handled.
