Of the 19 companies we track in Chesapeake, 4 have an active contractor license located in public records, 2 are registered business entities, and 10 operate from a commercial rather than residential address. Virginia issues roofing-contractor licensing at the state level, so an active state license is the baseline credential to confirm before hiring. A company not appearing with a license here isn’t proof it’s unlicensed - some jurisdictions don’t publish - so verify directly, and always confirm liability and workers’ comp insurance before work starts.

Chesapeake County has recorded 65 significant storm events in the past decade, including hail up to 2" and wind gusts to 66 mph, so storm-driven roof damage is common here. After big storms, be wary of out-of-area crews who show up unsolicited, pressure you to sign immediately, or ask you to sign over your insurance claim. 19 of the roofers we track are based in Chesapeake itself, alongside 20 that service it from nearby - favor an established local firm you can verify over a crew that appeared after the hail.

5 of the 19 roofers we track in Chesapeake hold at least one manufacturer certification (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO, IKO, Malarkey). Certification means the manufacturer vetted the contractor and lets them back your roof with stronger, longer material-and-labor warranties. Not required to install a roof, but a real signal of training and standing.

Across the 19 companies we track in Chesapeake, the average rating is 4.6★, combining Google, BBB, and Yelp. 16 appear on more than one platform and 3 have owners who actively respond to reviews. Look for steady, recent, multi-source ratings over a handful of old five-star reviews on one site - any single platform can be cherry-picked.

Roofing is a high-fall-risk trade, so safety history matters. Of the 19 companies we track in Chesapeake, 4 have at least one federal OSHA violation on record in the past 10 years, and 15 have none. We show any recorded violation - citation, severity, and penalty - on each profile. A clean record isn’t a guarantee, but repeated serious violations are a real red flag.
