How to check Prime Exterior Solutions on the Missouri record
roofing licensing in Missouri is handled locally, not by the state — verify city or county permit requirements and request the contractor's liability and workers'-comp insurance
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Go to the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
