Checking United Contractors Roofing - Upstate Roofing Experts against the South Carolina record
South Carolina 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.
- 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.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
