Public Records Check
- Locally Regulated New York 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 Klaus Roofing Systems of Upstate NY. Confirm any local permit or registration with the city or county where the work will take place.
- Registered Corporation Klaus Roofing Systems of Upstate NY's registered name carries a corporate suffix (LLC or Inc), but we have not matched it to a filing on the New York Secretary of State. You can confirm how the business is registered, and its current status, directly with the New York Secretary of State.
- Business Address Klaus Roofing Systems of Upstate NY's listed address at 1205 Central Ave, Albany, NY 12205 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 Klaus Roofing Systems of Upstate NY. 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.
- Good Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Klaus Roofing Systems of Upstate NY (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 4.4 out of 5, which we label Good. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. A solid average reflects past customers' experiences, not a guarantee of yours, so read the underlying reviews and weigh them yourself.
