Looking up Weddle and Sons Roofing of Lincoln in Nebraska
what Nebraska requires is general contractor registration, not a roofing-specific license; local permit rules sit with your city or county
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
