Checking Seamless Exterior against 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
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Open the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
