Looking up Bias construction in Missouri
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
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- 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.
