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.
- Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for Reiter Roofing with the Pennsylvania Secretary of State. That doesn't mean the company isn't legitimate. Many roofers operate legally as sole proprietorships, which don't require registration, and a registered business can be filed under a different name, formed in another state, or created too recently for us to match. To confirm how the business is structured, ask the contractor or search the Pennsylvania Secretary of State directly.
- Business Address Reiter Roofing's listed address at 4951 Wellington St, Philadelphia, PA 19135 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.
- 0 Credentials Our automated search didn't find a manufacturer certification for Reiter Roofing. Many reputable roofers aren't certified by any manufacturer, often by choice, so this isn't a sign of a problem. If a manufacturer-backed warranty matters to you, ask the contractor which certifications they carry.
- Excellent Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Reiter Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), 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 3/5 public records for Reiter Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Customer reviews of Reiter Roofing present mixed experiences. Several reviewers praise the company's responsiveness, professionalism, and problem-solving abilities, particularly with difficult leak detection. Reviewers report that staff members were courteous, on-time, and thorough, with owner Barry receiving specific commendation for persistence and follow-up. Some customers describe fair pricing and honest assessments that saved them money. However, other reviewers report significant concerns. One customer describes an incident where the owner arrived at their home at 7am regarding a paid bill, which they characterize as aggressive behavior that frightened their family. Another reviewer reports being given a wrong appointment time and claims the company argued about whether they had visited the correct address. A third customer states that while Reiter fixed their roof, they failed to address the underlying cause of leaks and did not respond to warranty-related calls years later.
