Robert Brewster’s Roofing Trail: What the Public Record Establishes

A homeowner’s payment, a contractor’s promise and work allegedly left undone: that is the recurring complaint in public notices concerning Robert Edgar Brewster Jr. The documents deserve scrutiny. So do the limits of what they establish.

Police agencies in Alabama described fraud and theft allegations in 2018. Reporting later that year identified a Florida investigation involving a contractor of the same name and a Montgomery-area roofing business. BBB profiles still display an alert identifying Robert Edgar Brewster Jr. None of those sources, on its own, supplies a complete account of what a court ultimately decided.

The distinction matters for readers considering a contractor and for anyone assessing the accusations. An agency’s announcement is evidence that an allegation was made or an arrest occurred. It is not a substitute for a judgment.

The Alabama notices

On May 25, 2018, the Hoover Police Department published a wanted notice naming Robert Edgar Brewster Jr., then 41, and listing three home-repair-fraud charges. An update that afternoon said Hoover police had him in custody. The department’s official post remains a direct source for the notice and arrest announcement. It does not supply a verdict or sentencing record. Hoover Police Department

A Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office report describes a separate complaint about advance payments for work allegedly not performed. Investigators said surrounding agencies had received similar complaints and that cooperation helped establish what the sheriff’s office called a “pattern of deception.” The report says Brewster was located in Leeds, arrested and returned to Montgomery; it lists Robert Edgar Brewster Jr. and a Property Theft I charge. Sheriff’s report

That phrase is the agency’s characterization of its investigation. Readers should not mistake it for a finding adopted by a judge or jury. The report also does not establish that every complaint in every jurisdiction was proven, or that all concerned the same contract or business entity.

A Florida investigation follows

On December 12, 2018, WCTV reported that the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office was investigating Robert Brewster of Restoration Roofing and Siding, described as a Montgomery, Alabama, business. According to the sheriff’s allegations relayed by the station, money had been accepted for roofing or siding work that was not performed. The report said theft and organized-fraud charges were pending and that investigators were seeking other customers with relevant information. WCTV’s contemporaneous report

This is a dated account of an investigation. Its use of “pending” describes the situation in December 2018; it cannot establish the status of a case in 2026. Likewise, the article’s headline is the station’s wording, not a court determination that this article adopts.

What the business profiles show

When checked for this article on September 26, 2026, BBB’s profile for The Roof Guy displayed an alert naming Robert Edgar Brewster Jr. and describing an investigation into business performance and dealings. The profile showed no rating. Its statement is attributable to BBB, a nongovernmental organization; it is not an announcement of a new criminal prosecution. The alert does not provide a start date that would justify calling it a newly opened investigation. The Roof Guy profile

BBB’s separate Eternal Roof profile lists alternate names including Brewster Roofing and Siding, Maximus Metal Roofing, Meadow Exteriors Doors/Roofing/Siding/Windows, Restoration Roofing and Siding of Montgomery, and The Roof Guy Inc. Those listings provide leads for tracing business associations. They do not, by themselves, establish ownership dates, incorporation histories or which entity signed a particular customer’s contract.

For that reason, this account does not collapse every listed name into one continuously operating company. Corporate identity, a trade name and an individual’s role in a business are different questions. Each requires its own records.

The missing piece: case outcomes

The sources linked here establish police announcements, reported allegations and published business alerts. They do not provide the final dispositions of the Alabama matters or an authenticated Florida judgment. This article therefore makes no claim that Brewster was convicted of fraud, theft or unlicensed contracting.

That boundary is substantive. A case may involve amended charges, a plea, a dismissal or another resolution that cannot be reconstructed reliably from an arrest notice. A docket entry without the relevant order can also leave important questions unanswered. Responsible reporting follows each charge through its disposition before assigning a criminal outcome.

No direct interview with Brewster was conducted for this account, and the reviewed materials do not provide a substantive response from him to every allegation described here. That absence is not evidence of guilt. Nor does online notoriety establish the truth of a business complaint.

The public interest lies in the transactions and the records: what was promised, what was paid, what work occurred and what authorities ultimately proved. The verified notices warrant attention. They also demand the discipline to stop where the documentary trail stops.
