How to check TruChoice Roofing on the Indiana record
Indiana roofing-license requirements are not yet covered by our verification program — confirm licensing and insurance with your city or county building department
- 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.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.

Who lives under these roofs
Fort Wayne's median year built is 1971, which makes the typical home 55 years old. Before 1980, 64.6 percent of the housing stock went up. Set a typical $10,012 asphalt job beside the $169,700 median home value and the roof comes to 6 percent. That is long enough for roughly 2 asphalt roof cycles, so replacement, not first install, is the usual job.
