How to check All-Star Exteriors on the Iowa record
what Iowa requires is state contractor registration, not a roofing-specific license; permit requirements come from your city or county
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
