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 United Roofing & Waterproofing. 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 United Roofing & Waterproofing 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.
- Unverified Address United Roofing & Waterproofing's listed address at 416 E 8th St, Brooklyn, NY 11218 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.
- 0 Credentials Our automated search didn't find a manufacturer certification for United Roofing & Waterproofing. 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.
- Excellent Ratings Across the platforms we identified for United Roofing & Waterproofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 4.8 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.

Customers report fair pricing relative to quality, with some noting competitive quotes and cost-saving suggestions. Reviewers highlight professionalism, punctuality, and skilled crew members.
