How to check Green Factor Roofing on the Kansas record
no statewide roofing license exists in Kansas; regulation happens at the city and county level through local building permits
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Go to the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
