roofers in Kansas are not licensed at the state level — cities and counties regulate the trade through local building permits
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Go to the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
