Verified · NE Registered — state registration confirmed; Nebraska registers contractors rather than licensing roofing✅ Independently Verified
Nebraska Registered — Nebraska has no roofing license. It requires every contractor to register with the Department of Labor, and that registration, which is not specific to roofing, is what a homeowner can check. We matched this business by name and city against the Department's public contractor search. Don't take our word for it — check the public record yourself.

How to check Star Home on 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
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
Registry last checked October 2026; the license on file shows an expiration of 2027-05-02. A badge covers the license match only, not insurance or workmanship.
