Checking Danker Roofing, Inc. against the Kansas record
roofers in Kansas are not licensed at the state level — cities and counties regulate the trade through local building permits
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
