How to check Flores & Foley Roofing + Sheet Metal 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.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- 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.
