How to verify a roofer in Mississippi

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

What Mississippi requires

Mississippi licenses roofing under two Board of Contractors classifications — Residential Roofing and Commercial Roofing, Sheetmetal and Siding — and the Board's public search lists every license.

Where to look a contractor up: Mississippi State Board of Contractors (MSBOC) search (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.
