Checking Rapid Roofing 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
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
