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 Amherst 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 Amherst 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 Amherst Roofing's listed address at 8900 Transit Road, Buffalo, NY 14051 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 Amherst 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 Amherst Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 3.3 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.

About this review summary

This summary was automatically generated from customer reviews that were publicly visible at the time it was created on one or more of the review aggregators listed below. It does not constitute a review, rating, endorsement, or statement of fact about the business - it reflects only the opinions expressed by those reviewers as found at that time, not the views or conclusions of RooferWatch. Automated summaries can contain errors or omit context and may become outdated as new reviews are posted, so please read the original reviews through the links provided and do your own due diligence. If you are the business owner and believe anything here is inaccurate, submit a correction and we’ll review it promptly.
  • Avg. Rating 3.3
  • BBB F
  • Google 4.7
  • Yelp 4.3

Customer reviews of Amherst Roofing are mixed. Several reviewers report positive experiences, praising the company's professionalism, friendliness, and efficiency. Some customers describe the onsite estimate process as helpful and solution-oriented, and multiple reviewers commend the crew's courtesy and work speed. A few customers note satisfaction with the warranty offered and quick service response times. However, one reviewer reports significant dissatisfaction with multiple aspects of their experience, including a two-month roof replacement timeline with poor communication despite an initial three-week estimate, unprofessional worker behavior on-site, color discrepancies not discussed beforehand, and inadequate cleanup resulting in numerous nails left in the driveway and neighboring areas. This reviewer also reports not receiving promised photos of completed work and expresses concern about the overall quality of local contractor services.

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. 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.

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.
