Capstone Home Improvement
Verified — license confirmed✅ Independently Verified
Michigan Licensed — Michigan has no roofing-only license. Roofers hold a Residential Builder or Maintenance & Alteration license from LARA, and the register does not say which trade a licensee works in. We matched this business by name and city against LARA's public licensee list. Don't take our word for it — check the public record yourself, and always ask for a current certificate of insurance before signing.

How to check Capstone Home Improvement 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
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- 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.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
Registry last checked October 2026; the license on file shows an expiration of 2027-05-31. A badge covers the license match only, not insurance or workmanship.
