How to check IBC Roofing Wilmington on the North Carolina record
North Carolina licenses general contractors, not roofers specifically, and only for jobs over $40,000 — the Licensing Board for General Contractors (LBGC) publishes a public search, but many legitimate smaller roofing jobs fall under the threshold and involve no license at all Official lookup: NC Licensing Board for General Contractors (LBGC) search.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
