Looking up Columbia's Absolute Roofing and Siding in Missouri
Missouri has no statewide roofing license or registration — requirements live at the city and county level, so check your local permit office and ask the roofer for proof of insurance
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
