How to verify a roofer in Minnesota

State license required. Five checks to make before you sign.

What Minnesota requires

Minnesota licenses residential contractors through the Department of Labor and Industry — roofing falls under a residential building, remodeling or roofing license, and the department publishes the whole register.

Where to look a contractor up: Minnesota DLI license lookup (official source, opens the state’s own search).

Five checks before you sign

  1. Ask for the license or registration number and look it up in the registry above. Match the exact business name, check that the status is active and read the expiration date.
  2. Ask for a current certificate of insurance (general liability and workers’ compensation) sent to you directly by the insurer or agent. PickARoofer does not verify insurance.
  3. Get a written contract with the scope, materials, total price, start date and warranty terms. Do not sign a blank or partly filled form.
  4. Check the permit. Ask who pulls it and confirm with your city or county building department that it was issued.
  5. Be careful with large deposits and door-to-door offers after a storm. Read how to avoid storm-chaser scams.
