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 MLK Construction. Confirm any local permit or registration with the city or county where the work will take place.
- Registered Corporation The Missouri Secretary of State listed MLK Construction as Active when we last checked on Jul 4, 2026, registered since 2008. You can confirm it's still current with the Missouri Secretary of State.
- Business Address MLK Construction's listed address at 1215 S Jefferson Ave, St. Louis, MO 63104 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 MLK Construction holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed SELECT 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 MLK Construction (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, CertainTeed), the blended average is 4.6 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 MLK Construction. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

CertainTeed
Reviewers report mixed experiences with MLK Construction. Several customers praise the company's reasonable pricing, fast turnaround, and quality work, particularly for roofing projects on older homes. Multiple reviewers describe Matt as honest, customer-service oriented, and thorough in explaining work and providing documentation. Repeat customers report satisfaction with completed projects. However, two reviewers express significant dissatisfaction. One customer reports that workers spent minimal time on the job without completing quoted work, left without notification, and describes the owner's response as unprofessional. Another reviewer states the quote was higher than competitors and expresses regret with the service. These contrasting accounts suggest inconsistent customer experiences with the company.
