Checking DeltaCat Roofing against 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
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- 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.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
