South Carolina roofing-license requirements are not yet covered by our verification program — confirm licensing and insurance with your city or county building department
- Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
- Open the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
