How to check KayCo Roofing on the Florida record
Florida licenses roofing contractors through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) — Certified Roofing Contractor and Registered Roofing Contractor are separate license types, and DBPR's own license search lets anyone verify one by name Official lookup: Florida DBPR license lookup.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Open the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
Registry last checked September 2026; the license on file shows an expiration of 2028-08-31. A badge covers the license match only, not insurance or workmanship.
