Public Records Check
- Registration-Based New Jersey doesn't license roofing contractors; instead it requires a statewide contractor registration. We treat this check as met rather than penalise it, but we haven't independently verified this company's registration - confirm it directly with the state before hiring.
- Registered Corporation Penn Roofing's registered name carries a corporate suffix (LLC or Inc), but we have not matched it to a filing on the New Jersey Secretary of State. You can confirm how the business is registered, and its current status, directly with the New Jersey Secretary of State.
- Business Address Penn Roofing's listed address at 134 Chapel St, Newark, NJ 07105 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.
- 0 Credentials Our automated search didn't find a manufacturer certification for Penn Roofing. Many reputable roofers aren't certified by any manufacturer, often by choice, so this isn't a sign of a problem. If a manufacturer-backed warranty matters to you, ask the contractor which certifications they carry.
- Okay Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Penn Roofing (Google, Yelp), the blended average is 3.6 out of 5, which we label Okay. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. Averages like this can be pulled down by a few reviews or a single dispute, so treat it as a starting point and read the underlying reviews for context.
We verified 3/5 public records for Penn Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
