Checking Monarch Roofing against the Alabama record
Alabama roofing-license requirements are not yet covered by our verification program — confirm licensing and insurance with your city or county building department
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
