Checking Stonewall Company against the Missouri record
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.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- 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.
