Checking McKinnis Roofing & Sheet Metal against the Nebraska record
there is no roofing-specific license in Nebraska — contractors register as general contractors, and permit requirements are set locally by city or county
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
