How to check Ace Exteriors and Restoration 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
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Go to the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
