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 East Penn Roofing as Active when we last checked on Jul 9, 2026, registered since 1927. You can confirm it's still current with the Pennsylvania Secretary of State.
- Residential Address East Penn Roofing's listed address at 1490 Pennsylvania Avenue, Emmaus, PA 18049 appears to be a residential 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 East Penn Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster, VELUX Certified Installer. 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 East Penn Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, CertainTeed), the blended average is 4.6 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 East Penn Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Customer reviews of East Penn Roofing present mixed experiences. Several reviewers report satisfaction with the quality of work performed, with some describing the roofers as skilled and praising the final results. One reviewer commends the owner Josh for being upfront and honest, and notes that workers stayed late to complete the job despite complications. However, other reviewers express significant frustration with customer service and communication. One customer reports not receiving a promised callback for an estimate and being told the company only does full replacements, not repairs. Another reviewer describes poor communication during a project and was surprised by a change order requesting an additional $3,200 beyond the initial $6,000 estimate - over 50% higher than quoted. That reviewer notes the company presents change orders after work is completed rather than during the process.
