Checking Truett Roofing against the Kansas record
roofers in Kansas are not licensed at the state level — cities and counties regulate the trade through local building permits
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- 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.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
