How to check Morins Exteriors on the Minnesota record
the Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) is what licenses Minnesota residential contractors, roofers included, and its register of those licenses is public Official lookup: Minnesota DLI license lookup.
- Open the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- 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.
