How to check Jobson Roofing on the Michigan record
Michigan 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.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
