Public Records Check
- Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for Black Bear Roofing with the North Carolina state licensing board. That doesn't mean the company is unlicensed. A license can be held under a different business name, registered too recently for us to match, or filed in a way our search didn't catch. We recommend confirming directly with the North Carolina state licensing board or asking the contractor for their license number.
- Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for Black Bear Roofing with the North Carolina 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 North Carolina Secretary of State directly.
- Business Address Black Bear Roofing's listed address at 856 Sweeten Creek Rd #Apt F, Asheville, NC 28803 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 Black Bear Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed ShingleMaster, Owens Corning Preferred. 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.

This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score.

Owens Corning
Several reviewers praise Black Bear Roofing's communication, professionalism, and work quality. Customers report that staff members including Josh, Sally, Joe, Eric, Ben, Devin, Aric, Jamie, Trevor, and Matt were responsive, knowledgeable, and respectful. Reviewers describe the installation crews as efficient, detail-oriented, and thorough with cleanup. Many customers note competitive pricing and appreciation for transparent explanations of work and potential issues. However, some recent reviewers report significant problems, including delayed project timelines with minimal communication, language barriers with crew members lacking onsite supervision, material ordering errors, property damage during installation with inadequate follow-up, and debris left after completion. One reviewer reported loose screws improperly installed that required a return visit to address. These negative experiences contrast sharply with the company's earlier positive reviews, with some dissatisfied customers noting they initially chose the company based on its strong reputation.
