— What An A+ Rating Means
SEC 01 / 05
The Better Business Bureau's top grade.
The Better Business Bureau rates businesses on a scale from A+ down to F. An A+ is the highest grade there is. Here's what goes into it, and what it does and doesn't mean.
The highest grade
The BBB grades businesses from A+ to F based on factors like complaint history, transparency, and time in business. A+ is the top of that scale.
Built on how we treat people
A rating like this reflects how a business handles its customers and commitments over time, including how it responds when something needs to be made right.
What it is, and isn't
To be straight with you: the A+ is a third-party rating from the BBB, not a license or a warranty. It reflects our standing, not a guarantee on any one job.
— Why It Should Matter To You
SEC 02 / 05
A roof is a big decision. Standing earns trust.
You're letting a contractor onto your home for one of its biggest investments. A third-party rating gives you an independent read on whether a company can be trusted to do right by you:
— An Established, Multi-State Contractor
SEC 03 / 05
Trusted standing, across a wide service area.
Our A+ standing isn't from a company that just opened its doors. It's backed by decades of work and a footprint that reaches well beyond our home base.
Licensed across 24 states
We're licensed to work in 24 states, so our standing and our practices carry across a broad service area, not just one town.
Family-owned since 1979
An A+ built on a long track record, decades of treating customers right, not a brand-new operation chasing reviews.
Our own crews
The people on your home work for us, never subcontracted, which is a big part of how we keep our standing and our quality consistent.

No, and we want to be clear about that. The A+ is a third-party rating issued by the BBB, not a contractor’s license or a warranty. It reflects our standing and how we treat customers. The guarantee on your project is the written warranty we provide. Our warranties →
The Better Business Bureau does, not us. That’s exactly what makes it useful to you: it’s an independent, third-party read on how a business operates, rather than something a company can simply claim about itself. Why it matters →
