How to check Southern Star Roofing Asheville NC on the North Carolina record
the $40,000 threshold is what triggers North Carolina's general contractor license, issued by the LBGC and searchable on its public site — roofing itself has no separate license Official lookup: NC Licensing Board for General Contractors (LBGC) search.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
