Checking Lane's Contracting & Roofing, Inc. against the North Carolina record
licensing in North Carolina applies to general contractors on jobs above $40,000, through the Licensing Board for General Contractors (LBGC); smaller roofing jobs are not required to carry one, so an unlicensed contractor is not automatically a red flag Official lookup: NC Licensing Board for General Contractors (LBGC) search.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
