Checking ProCrafters Roofing 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
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
