Checking Best Choice Roofing against the North Carolina record
North Carolina licenses general contractors, not roofers specifically, and only for jobs over $40,000 — the Licensing Board for General Contractors (LBGC) publishes a public search, but many legitimate smaller roofing jobs fall under the threshold and involve no license at all Official lookup: NC Licensing Board for General Contractors (LBGC) search.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Open the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
