How to check Blue Knight on the Ohio record
Ohio roofing-license requirements are not yet covered by our verification program — confirm licensing and insurance with your city or county building department
- Go to the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- 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.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
