How to check DeSoto Roofing on the Mississippi record
roofing contractors in Mississippi carry a Board of Contractors license under a residential or commercial roofing classification, both searchable on the Board's public site Official lookup: Mississippi State Board of Contractors (MSBOC) search.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- 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.
