Checking Erie Home Roofing against 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
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
