How to check RM Construction Services on the Iowa record
there is no roofing-specific license in Iowa — contractors carry a state contractor registration, and permits are handled 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.
- Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
