Public Records Check
- Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for Powell Roofing with the South Carolina state licensing board. That doesn't mean the company is unlicensed. A license can be held under a different business name, registered too recently for us to match, or filed in a way our search didn't catch. We recommend confirming directly with the South Carolina state licensing board or asking the contractor for their license number.
- Registered Corporation The South Carolina Secretary of State listed Powell Roofing as Active when we last checked on Jul 2, 2026, registered since 2015. You can confirm it's still current with the South Carolina Secretary of State.
- Residential Address Powell Roofing's listed address at 4082 Exploration Rd, Ladson, SC 29456 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 Powell Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed ShingleMaster Premier, FORTIFIED Roofing Contractor. 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 Powell Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, CertainTeed), the blended average is 4.8 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 4/5 public records for Powell Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
