Looking up Roofs By A1 in Missouri
there is no state-level roofing license in Missouri; cities and counties set their own rules, so confirm local permits and ask any contractor for insurance certificates
- 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.
