Checking Best Choice Roofing against the Virginia record

Virginia roofing-license requirements are not yet covered by our verification program — confirm licensing and insurance with your city or county building department

1. Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
2. Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
3. Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
4. Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
