Checking MAX Roofing against the Nebraska record
Nebraska requires general contractor registration rather than a roofing-specific license — check your city or county for local permit requirements
- Open the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- 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.
