Public Records Check
- Registration-Based Pennsylvania doesn't license roofing contractors; instead it requires a statewide contractor registration. We treat this check as met rather than penalise it, but we haven't independently verified this company's registration - confirm it directly with the state before hiring.
- Registered Corporation The Pennsylvania Secretary of State listed Great Lakes Commercial Roofing as Active when we last checked on Jul 4, 2026, registered since 2015. You can confirm it's still current with the Pennsylvania Secretary of State.
- Business Address Great Lakes Commercial Roofing's listed address at 3237 US-19, Cochranton, PA 16314 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.
- 1 Credential Great Lakes Commercial Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: NRCA Membership - member since 2017. 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 Great Lakes Commercial Roofing (Google, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 4.7 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 Great Lakes Commercial Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
