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 J&A 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 J&A 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 J&A Roofing's listed address at 3 Clarendon Ave, East Kingston, NY 12401 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.
  • 3 Credentials J&A Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed ShingleMaster, Owens Corning Preferred, Carlisle Authorized Applicator. 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.
  • Okay Ratings Across the platforms we identified for J&A Roofing (Google, Yelp), the blended average is 3.9 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.

  • Avg. Rating 3.9
  • Google 4.5
  • Yelp 3.2

Customer reviews of J&A Roofing present mixed experiences. Several reviewers report satisfaction with the company's responsiveness, professionalism, and work quality, with some praising fast completion times and competitive pricing. One reviewer noted the company's longevity as a third-generation family business spanning 38 years. However, multiple reviewers describe significant problems. Some customers report installation defects including incorrect screws causing leaks, incomplete work not matching contract specifications, and improper flashing installation. Several reviewers express frustration with the company's responsiveness to post-installation issues, stating they received no callbacks or follow-up despite repeated contact attempts regarding leaks and defects. One reviewer reports rust appearing on a metal roof within months and claims the company failed to honor warranty obligations. Reviewers characterize these experiences as poor workmanship and inadequate accountability for problems.

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. 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.
