Looking up Butler Roofing in Kansas
statewide, Kansas does not license roofers; the trade is governed by local building permits at the city and county level
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- 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.
