Checking Tigüila Construction against the Iowa record
Iowa requires state contractor registration rather than a roofing-specific license — check your city or county for local permit requirements
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- Go to the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
