Checking Pro Exterior Construction Services against the Iowa record
what Iowa requires is state contractor registration, not a roofing-specific license; permit requirements come from your city or county
- 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.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
