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 Fort-Cica Roofing & General Contractors. Confirm any local permit or registration with the city or county where the work will take place.
- Registered Corporation Fort-Cica Roofing & General Contractors'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 Fort-Cica Roofing & General Contractors's listed address at 720 E 141st St, Bronx, NY 10461 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.
- 2 Credentials Fort-Cica Roofing & General Contractors holds these manufacturer certifications: Carlisle Authorized Applicator, NRCA Membership - member since 1985. 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.

Several reviewers report that Fort Cica is easy to work with and describe the team as professional and polite. Customers praise the company as a family business where Anthony and his crews work hard, with one reviewer noting they received daily reports and completed work ahead of schedule. Some customers describe the work quality positively, with one reviewer calling it "excellent" and another praising their newly painted and patched roof. However, one reviewer reports a negative experience with a gutter repair that was not leveled properly and subsequently leaked, causing damage. This customer states they attempted to contact the company over 15 times across four months without receiving a callback to address the issue, and ultimately hired another contractor to fix the work.
