How to check Above 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
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
