Checking Service Roofing Company 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
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Go to 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.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
