Looking up Marcelo Construction LLC in Iowa
there is no roofing-specific license in Iowa — contractors carry a state contractor registration, and permits are handled locally by city or county
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
