Public Records Check
- License Found As of Jul 10, 2026, the Minnesota state licensing board shows an active license for New Life Contracting: BC249486. 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 Minnesota state licensing board.
- Registered Corporation New Life Contracting's registered name carries a corporate suffix (LLC or Inc), but we have not matched it to a filing on the Minnesota Secretary of State. You can confirm how the business is registered, and its current status, directly with the Minnesota Secretary of State.
- Business Address New Life Contracting's listed address at 1898 Livingston Avenue, Lilydale, MN 55118 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.
- 1 Credential New Life Contracting holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed ShingleMaster. 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 New Life Contracting (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), 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 5/5 public records for New Life Contracting. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
