Public Records Check
- Locally Regulated Ohio 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 Boak & Sons. Confirm any local permit or registration with the city or county where the work will take place.
- Registered Corporation Boak & Sons's registered name carries a corporate suffix (LLC or Inc), but we have not matched it to a filing on the Ohio Secretary of State. You can confirm how the business is registered, and its current status, directly with the Ohio Secretary of State.
- Business Address Boak & Sons's listed address at 75 Victoria Rd, Austintown, OH 44515 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.
- 5 Credentials Boak & Sons holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed ShingleMaster, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, Johns Manville Peak Advantage - Peak, Carlisle Perfection Award, NRCA Membership - member since 2000. 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.
- Excellent Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Boak & Sons (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, Owens Corning), the blended average is 4.5 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.
We verified 5/5 public records for Boak & Sons. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Owens Corning
Customer reviews of this roofing business are mixed. Several reviewers praise the company's professionalism and pricing, with one recommending them without reservation and highlighting their thorough cleanup work, including picking up stray nails and tar marks during a full roof tear-off completed in one day. However, other customers report negative experiences. One reviewer states the business failed to fix the primary problem causing roof issues and only replaced the roof instead. Another customer describes an estimate call where the representative appeared unfamiliar with roofing work, promised a callback, and never followed up.
