Looking up RIG Roofing of Lakeland in Florida

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.

  1. Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
  2. The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
  3. Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
  4. Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
