Looking up Affordable Gutters N' More 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
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
