Public Records Check
- Locally Regulated Missouri doesn't issue a statewide roofing license - roofing is regulated locally through city or county permits, so there is no state license to verify. We don't count this against JR&CO. Confirm any local permit or registration with the city or county where the work will take place.
- Registered Corporation JR&CO's registered name carries a corporate suffix (LLC or Inc), but we have not matched it to a filing on the Missouri Secretary of State. You can confirm how the business is registered, and its current status, directly with the Missouri Secretary of State.
- Business Address JR&CO's listed address at 1201 W 31st St #1, Kansas City, MO 64108 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.
- 8 Credentials JR&CO holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed ShingleMaster, Owens Corning Preferred, TAMKO Pro Platinum, Elevate Licensed Contractor, Haag Certified Inspector - Commercial, Johns Manville Peak Advantage - Peak, Carlisle Authorized Applicator, NRCA Membership - member since 1998. 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 JR&CO (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 4.9 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 JR&CO. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
