How to check Dauzat Contractors LLC on the Louisiana record
Louisiana roofing-license requirements are not yet covered by our verification program — confirm licensing and insurance with your city or county building department
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.

In Rapides Parish, the NOAA record since 2017 lists 21 hail entries. Reports of 1 inch or larger span 12 days. The rough part: 3 days with stones of 1.75 inches or larger, topped by a 3.5-inch stone about the size of a teacup. 2023 is the last year with a 1.75-inch report.
