Looking up Assurance Roofing & Exteriors in Kansas
Kansas has no statewide roofing license — contractors are regulated at the city and county level through local building permits
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- 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.
