How to check Erie Home Roofing on the Illinois record
Illinois licenses roofing specifically under the Roofing Industry Licensing Act — the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) issues the license and publishes every roofing contractor license it has issued Official lookup: IDFPR license lookup.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Open the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
