Checking Topeka Best Roofing against the Kansas record
Kansas has no statewide roofing license — contractors are regulated at the city and county level through local building permits
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.

Who lives under these roofs
The median home in Topeka was built in 1967, so the typical house is 59 years old. Set a typical $9,900 asphalt job beside the $130,600 median home value and the roof comes to 8 percent. Asphalt roofs last roughly 25 years, so a home from 1967 is on roof number 2 or later if each was replaced on schedule.

| Median year built | 1967 |
