Checking Hoekstra Roofing Company against 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
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
Registry last checked October 2026; the license on file shows an expiration of 2028-05-31. A badge covers the license match only, not insurance or workmanship.
