Roofing Contractor Data Sources
Roofing contractor license data is sourced from state contractor licensing boards across the United States. Licensing requirements and the issuing authority vary by state; RuinShield normalizes each record to its issuing board.
State board disciplinary & enforcement records (suspensions, revocations, fines) are a planned supplemental risk indicator. They are not treated as live in the public dataset until that source is connected.
Recent local roofing-permit history is expanding metro by metro. Live general-liability insurance is not publicly available, so homeowners request a certificate of insurance (COI) directly from the contractor; workers'-comp and surety-bond status are partly public record and on the roadmap.
Storm-event context, including affected ZIP codes and hail/wind event dates, is derived from the NOAA Storm Events Database maintained by the National Centers for Environmental Information (https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents/).
For complaints or enforcement actions against a specific contractor, contact your state contractor licensing board directly.
