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 Coates Bros. Roofing. Confirm any local permit or registration with the city or county where the work will take place.
- Registered Corporation Coates Bros. Roofing'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 Coates Bros. Roofing's listed address at 7516 W River Rd S, Elyria, OH 44035 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 Coates Bros. Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed SELECT 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.
- Excellent Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Coates Bros. Roofing (Google, the Better Business Bureau, CertainTeed), the blended average is 4.9 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 Coates Bros. Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
