Public Records Check
- License Found We found a license number on file for Shanco: 121665, but haven't confirmed its current status directly with the Virginia state licensing board. We recommend verifying it's active and in good standing with the Virginia state licensing board before hiring.
- Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for Shanco with the Virginia 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 Virginia Secretary of State directly.
- Unverified Address Shanco's listed address at 2305 Commerce Center Dr, Lorton, VA appears to be a unconfirmed address. A roofer using a mailbox isn't necessarily a problem, but it can make the company harder to reach or hold accountable. To reach them in person, ask the contractor for a physical address or confirm one directly.
- 1 Credential Shanco holds these manufacturer certifications: VELUX Certified Installer. 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 Shanco (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 Shanco. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.
