Looking up John Cotten Roofing & Construction 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
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
