Looking up Easton Roofing in Kansas
no statewide roofing license exists in Kansas; regulation happens at the city and county level through local building permits
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
