Public Records Check
- Locally Regulated South Dakota doesn't issue a statewide roofing license - roofing is regulated locally through city or county permits, so there is no state license to verify. We don't count this against James Roofing & Construction. Confirm any local permit or registration with the city or county where the work will take place.
- Registered Corporation The South Dakota Secretary of State listed James Roofing & Construction as Active when we last checked on Jul 8, 2026, registered since 2012. You can confirm it's still current with the South Dakota Secretary of State.
- Residential Address James Roofing & Construction's listed address at 2001 N Ellis Road, Sioux Falls, SD 57107 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.
- 0 Credentials Our automated search didn't find a manufacturer certification for James Roofing & Construction. 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.
- Okay Ratings Across the platforms we identified for James Roofing & Construction (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 3.6 out of 5, which we label Okay. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. Averages like this can be pulled down by a few reviews or a single dispute, so treat it as a starting point and read the underlying reviews for context.
We verified 3/5 public records for James Roofing & Construction. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Reviewers report significant issues with roof installation and cleanup. One customer describes arriving home to find 20+ nails scattered in their driveway after the first night of work, with cleanup leaving roofing nails accumulated in a half-gallon bucket weeks later. This reviewer also reports a new leak in their porch two weeks after completion and states the company blamed full gutters despite no prior leaking in five years. Another reviewer reports leaks around their chimney following roof installation, noting they were told flashing would be replaced but installers claimed it didn't need replacement. This customer describes water damage including a sagging bathroom ceiling and water dripping from fixtures during rain. Both reviewers also report installation issues: one describes poor site management with no advance notice and three-day completion time, while the other reports the drip edge was installed by cutting slits around gutter mounting screws rather than removing them, resulting in bent and pulled screws requiring additional repairs.
