How to check Kustom Home Remodeling 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.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
