Checking Musick Roofing against 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.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
