When your state has no lookup
Some states leave roofers to cities and counties, and some ask for nothing. Ask your building department whether it licenses roofers and how to check one. In every state, ask for a certificate of insurance and call the insurer to confirm the policy is active. Our guide shows how to check a roofer's insurance and license, step by step.
Where this comes from
Each row comes from our roofing license pages by state. We read each state's own pages, last on . Each state page lists its sources and the date we checked them. Lookup sites move, so if a link fails, search the state licensing board by name. This is general information, not legal advice. The Roofing List does not check licenses.
