Public Records Check
- Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for CL Burks with the Tennessee 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 Tennessee state licensing board or asking the contractor for their license number.
- Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for CL Burks with the Tennessee 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 Tennessee Secretary of State directly.
- Business Address CL Burks's listed address at 1640 Redi Rd, Chattanooga, TN 30040 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 CL Burks holds these manufacturer certifications: Elevate Licensed Contractor, Johns Manville Pinnacle Council®, Carlisle Perfection Council. 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 CL Burks (Google, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 5.0 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 CL Burks. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
