What Kelso's roofing licenses show
2 of Kelso's roofing licenses were issued within the past 24 months.
A recent license isn't a warning sign on its own, but it's worth asking a newer Kelso company how long its crew has actually worked in roofing.
Either way, check the Kelso number yourself rather than taking a business card's word for it.

How to check a license in Washington
- Search by business name, registration number, or Washington UBI number.[1]
- Confirm the registration reads active and that roofing is the listed specialty, since a specialty registration only covers the trade named on it.[2]
- Check that a current bond is on file. Washington raised the specialty contractor bond to $15,000 in July 2024.[3]
- If the crew includes employees, confirm an active workers' compensation account in the same result.[4]
L&I Verify a Contractor, Tradesperson or Business
Warning signs
- No written Notice to Customer handed over before a $1,000-plus job starts on a small residential property (four units or under).[5]
- A registration that reads suspended, expired, or recently reinstated after a bond cancellation.[6]
- Reluctance to give you the registration number so you can look it up yourself.
- A discount that disappears if you don't sign during the same visit, or a demand for cash only.
Rules that protect you
- Roofing is registered as one of dozens of specialty trades in Washington, and a specialty contractor can't hire subcontractors outside that trade.[2]
- State law requires a written Notice to Customer before the crew starts on any $1,000-plus job at a small residential property of four units or under.[5]
- The building permit itself comes from the local city or county, separate from L&I's contractor registration.[7]
