Checking Iowa Roofing and Home Remodel against the Iowa record
Iowa's requirement is state contractor registration — roofing carries no separate license, and permits are handled by your city or county
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
