Looking up Kape Roofing & Exteriors Inc. in Kansas
roofers in Kansas are not licensed at the state level — cities and counties regulate the trade through local building permits
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
