How to check GRT Roofing 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
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- 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.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
