Looking up A1 Roofing and Construction Llc in Iowa
Iowa's requirement is state contractor registration — roofing carries no separate license, and permits are handled by your city or county
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
