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 Star Roofing. Confirm any local permit or registration with the city or county where the work will take place.
  • Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for Star Roofing with the New York Secretary of State. That doesn't mean the company isn't legitimate. Many roofers operate legally as sole proprietorships, which don't require registration, and a registered business can be filed under a different name, formed in another state, or created too recently for us to match. To confirm how the business is structured, ask the contractor or search the New York Secretary of State directly.
  • Business Address Star Roofing's listed address at 16 Van Rensselaer Rd, 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.
  • 8 Credentials Star Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed ShingleMaster Premier, Owens Corning Preferred, Atlas Pro+ Platinum Select, GAF Master Elite, GAF Solar Certified, Johns Manville Peak Advantage - Peak, Carlisle Authorized Applicator, NRCA Membership - member since 1999. 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 Star Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning), 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 4/5 public records for Star Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Automated summaries can contain errors or omit context and may become outdated as new reviews are posted, so please read the original reviews through the links provided and do your own due diligence.

About this average rating

This figure is a straightforward average of the public ratings we’ve gathered for this company across the following review platforms that our systems have identified: Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning. It is not a proprietary RooferWatch score or a judgement of our own; each source is converted to a common five-star scale and blended into a single number so that no one platform’s reviews carry outsized weight, giving a more balanced read on overall sentiment. We’d still encourage you to read the underlying reviews on each platform and weigh them for yourself.

They simply describe patterns in those reviews - how often new reviews appear, how often the owner replies, and whether recent star ratings run higher or lower than older ones.

Please read the underlying reviews and do your own due diligence. If you are the business owner and believe anything here is inaccurate, submit a correction and we’ll review it promptly.
