Checking Modern Roof Coating against the Illinois record
roofing is a licensed trade in its own right in Illinois: the Roofing Industry Licensing Act puts it under the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR), whose roofing contractor licenses are all a matter of public record Official lookup: IDFPR license lookup.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- 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.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
