Checking Wilkinson 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
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.

The homes under these roofs
The median home in Lafayette went up in 1970, so the typical house is 56 years old. Before 1980, 60.5 percent of the housing stock went up. Set a typical $10,012 asphalt job beside the $157,600 median home value and the roof comes to 6 percent. Asphalt roofs last roughly 25 years, so a home from 1970 is on roof number 2 or later if each was replaced on schedule.
