Checking Murray Roofing 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
- 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.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
