How to check Best Choice Roofing on the Mississippi record
Mississippi licenses roofing under two Board of Contractors classifications — Residential Roofing and Commercial Roofing, Sheetmetal and Siding — and the Board's public search lists every license 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.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
