Checking Premier Plus Storm Team against the Iowa record
Iowa requires state contractor registration rather than a roofing-specific license — check your city or county for local permit requirements
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
