Checking Fortitude Roofing Company 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.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
