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 George J. Grove & Son as Active when we last checked on Jul 10, 2026, registered since 1974. You can confirm it's still current with the Pennsylvania Secretary of State.
- Business Address George J. Grove & Son's listed address at 1219 Manheim Pike, Lancaster, PA 17601 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 George J. Grove & Son holds these manufacturer certifications: 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 George J. Grove & Son (Google, Yelp, 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 George J. Grove & Son. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Yelp
Customer reviews describe generally positive experiences with George J Grove's installation services. Several reviewers report excellent craftsmanship, competitive pricing, and respectful, professional installers and estimators across projects including storm doors, sliding glass doors, windows, siding, and gutters. Multiple customers praise specific technicians for professionalism, communication, and attention to detail, including cleanup and care for home interiors. However, one long-term customer describes a significantly negative experience involving quote discrepancies, alleged upselling of undisclosed additional work, poor communication between sales and installation teams, measurement errors, and confrontational interactions with management regarding disputed charges. That reviewer expresses feeling taken advantage of and questions the company's business practices.
