Checking Roof Squad against the Mississippi record
roofing contractors in Mississippi carry a Board of Contractors license under a residential or commercial roofing classification, both searchable on the Board's public site Official lookup: Mississippi State Board of Contractors (MSBOC) search.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
