Checking Osbon Roofing against the Louisiana record
Louisiana roofing-license requirements are not yet covered by our verification program — confirm licensing and insurance with your city or county building department
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- 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.
