How to check Dolphin Roofing & Remodeling on the Kansas record
Kansas has no statewide roofing license — contractors are regulated at the city and county level through local building permits
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
