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