How to check FreeState Roofing LLC on the Kansas record
roofers in Kansas are not licensed at the state level — cities and counties regulate the trade through local building permits
- 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.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
