How this list was made
A listing costs nothing and cannot be bought. We do not rank by star ratings because we do not have review data we trust. A roofer makes the list for one reason: we looked them up on NC Licensing Board for General Contractors (LBGC) search and found an active license or registration.
They are in alphabetical order, so the first name is not the “winner”. How we verify. We earn money when contractors accept homeowner requests, which does not change who is on this list or in what order (how the money works).

Licenses in North Carolina
North Carolina licenses general contractors, not roofers specifically, and only for jobs over $40,000, the Licensing Board for General Contractors (LBGC) publishes a public search, but many legitimate smaller roofing jobs fall under the threshold and involve no license at all.
License-checked badges in North Carolina mean an LBGC general contractor license found under the same business name, many smaller roofing jobs legally need no license at all, so its absence is not a red flag here.

Gastonia storm risk, and why the license matters after one
Gastonia had 16 days with hail of 1 inch or larger in the record, #107 of the 212 cities we cover. After a hail day, homeowners start calling roofers, and not every caller is local. A license number is the quickest check.

Source: NOAA Storm Events, 2014 to June 2026Local roofer or storm chaser? Five checks you can make yourself
- The license or registration number on the contract matches a record on NC Licensing Board for General Contractors (LBGC) search.
- The business name on the contract is the name on that record, not only the name on a truck.
- There is a street address you can find on a map, not a P.O. box.
- The contract is written, with the company name, license number and scope, before any money moves.
- An “assignment of benefits” form hands your insurance claim to the roofer. Read it, and call your insurer first.
What we could not check
A license shows a roofer is allowed to work. It does not show how well they work. Three things are on you before you sign.
Insurance
Ask for a certificate of insurance with general liability and workers’ compensation, then call the insurer and confirm it is current.
Warranty in writing
Get the workmanship warranty (years and what it covers) on the contract, separate from the shingle maker’s warranty.
Recent local jobs
Ask for two addresses in Gastonia roofed in the last year and drive by.
| What | Status | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| License or registration | Checked | Looked up on NC Licensing Board for General Contractors (LBGC) search; number, status and expiry copied as the registry shows them. |
| Insurance | Not checked | Ask for a certificate; call the insurer. |
| Workmanship warranty | Not checked | Get years and coverage in the contract. |
| Quality of past work | Not checked | No star ratings here. Ask for two recent local jobs. |
Six questions to ask any Gastonia roofer
Use them with every name on this list, and with anyone who is not on it.
- What is your license or registration number?A number you can look up yourself, on a name that matches the contract.North Carolina note. NC Licensing Board for General Contractors (LBGC) search lists the licenses we check. Look the number up there.
- Can I see your certificate of insurance?General liability and workers' compensation, with dates. Call the insurer to confirm it is in force.North Carolina note. A license on the North Carolina registry does not prove insurance. Our check does not either.
- Who pulls the permit, and what is the permit number?The roofer pulls it. Permit rules are set by your Gastonia city or county, so you can call the building department to check.
- What does the workmanship warranty cover, and for how long?Years and exclusions written in the contract. This is separate from the shingle maker's warranty.
- Where is your office, and which two Gastonia jobs did you finish this year?A street address you can find, and two addresses you can drive past.
- What is the payment schedule, and what is in the written estimate?Itemized materials and labor. A large deposit before materials arrive is a reason to slow down.
