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 Union Roofing as Active when we last checked on Jun 22, 2026, registered since 1981. You can confirm it's still current with the Pennsylvania Secretary of State.
- Business Address Union Roofing's listed address at 12260 Townsend Rd, Philadelphia, PA 19154 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.
- 3 Credentials Union Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: GAF GoldElite (Commercial), Elevate Licensed Contractor, Carlisle ESP Award (Excellence in Single-Ply). 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.
- Good Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Union Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, GAF), the blended average is 4.3 out of 5, which we label Good. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. A solid 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 Union Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

GAF
Reviewers report mixed experiences with Union Roofing. Several customers praise the company's responsiveness, professionalism, and quality workmanship, with some describing excellent communication and competitive pricing. However, multiple reviewers express significant dissatisfaction. Some report ongoing roof leaks persisting years after installation despite warranty claims, with one reviewer alleging the warranty contains undisclosed conditions requiring re-sealing every three years. Another customer describes poor customer service, stating a staff member was rude during scheduling. Additional complaints include leaks recurring after multiple repair attempts, alleged damage to an HVAC unit with denied reimbursement requests, and accusations of misdiagnosis regarding roof problems. One reviewer characterizes the company as "shady" and another describes "the absolute worst quality of work," citing numerous service calls over five years without resolving recurring leaks.
