About ARCO Accreditation
Accreditation cannot be obtained through application alone. Each business must first undergo ARCO's complete review process and demonstrate that it meets the standards required for accreditation.
Provide your contact information below. ARCO will review your inquiry and determine whether your business may be invited to complete the accreditation review process.

ARCO Review Findings
Reviews describe Avalon’s work as professional, detailed, and high quality across roofing, gutters, insulation, doors, and other exterior projects. Customers also praise clear communication, prompt scheduling and completion, thorough cleanup, and the company’s willingness to help resolve issues and work with insurance.
100% satisfaction! We had our roof replaced including the boards underneath, and our gutters replaced. The crew worked together and were very professional. They were very hard workers! They cleaned up everything afterwards!
I had a roofing consultation with Mac this morning. He was very thorough and informative. I signed on with them to have it installed soon!
Our roof inspection and consultation was very informative. We were given possible repairs that may be necessary and what the costs would be. We believe the quote we received was reasonable.
Answered all my questions, scheduling and updates were good. No nails in the yard and roof looks good
Worked with [redacted] and his team. They were great to work with. Had my gutters, roof, and attic insulation completed. They added ventilation to our attic to help with airflow. They were honest about the work and prompt to get it started. Looking forward to working with them in the future.
Review data aggregated from public sources · ARCO does not moderate third-party reviews
The difference between "good enough" and proven excellence. Only the top roofers in America earn ARCO Accreditation — recognition of true craftsmanship, ethics, and integrity.
Peace of Mind: Every ARCO-Accredited roofer has been checked against public licensing records, safety records, complaint history, and verified customer reviews.
Work You Can Trust: ARCO's evaluation includes manufacturer certification programs — credentials that can help preserve your roof's warranty coverage.
Verified, Not Self-Reported: ARCO's findings come from government and third-party sources — state filing offices, SAM.gov, OSHA, and the BBB — not from paperwork a contractor submits about itself.
A Public Paper Trail: Every accredited profile publishes its report number, evaluation date, and sources — so any homeowner can independently verify the findings at RoofingContractors.org.
