Public Records Check
- Locally Regulated New Hampshire 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 J. Carnes & Son Roofing. Confirm any local permit or registration with the city or county where the work will take place.
- Registered Corporation The New Hampshire Secretary of State listed J. Carnes & Son Roofing as Active when we last checked on Jul 8, 2026, registered since 2007. You can confirm it's still current with the New Hampshire Secretary of State.
- Unverified Address J. Carnes & Son Roofing's listed address at 153 Lafayette Rd, Dover, NH 03844 appears to be a unconfirmed address. A roofer using a mailbox isn't necessarily a problem, but it can make the company harder to reach or hold accountable. To reach them in person, ask the contractor for a physical address or confirm one directly.
- 1 Credential J. Carnes & Son Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: 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 J. Carnes & Son Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 5.0 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 J. Carnes & Son Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
