How to check CLS Construction on 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.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Go to the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
