How to check Guns N Hoses Roofing & Siding 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
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- Open the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
