This is the State of Alabama's official record — no third party. 2. 2 ### Enter the contractor's company name or license number Type the exact business name. If you know the license number, that's the most precise lookup. 3. 3 ### Confirm 'Active' status, license class, and expiration Look for an Active status, the appropriate license class (Residential, Commercial, or Roofing), and a current expiration date. 4. 4 ### Cross-check the business address Verify the address on file with HBLB matches what the contractor advertises locally in Huntsville and Madison County. 5. 5 ### Report discrepancies to HBLB If anything looks wrong — expired license, mismatched name, no record — file a complaint directly with HBLB. They are the enforcement authority. ## Verify Every Listed Roofer Each link opens HBLB's official licensee search prefilled with the contractor's name. You'll see live status — Active, Expired, Suspended — straight from the State. # Contractor HBLB Lookup 1 Southern Industries Home Improvements [Verify on HBLB](https://alhobv7prod.glsuite.us/GLSuiteWeb/Clients/ALHOB/Public/LicenseeSearch.aspx?CompanyName=Southern%20Industries%20Home%20Improvements) 2 Fleming Roofing [Verify on HBLB](https://alhobv7prod.glsuite.us/GLSuiteWeb/Clients/ALHOB/Public/LicenseeSearch.aspx?CompanyName=Fleming%20Roofing) 3 Thoughtful Roofer [Verify on HBLB](https://alhobv7prod.glsuite.us/GLSuiteWeb/Clients/ALHOB/Public/LicenseeSearch.aspx?CompanyName=Thoughtful%20Roofer) 4 Coltus Roofing & Construction, LLC [Verify on HBLB](https://alhobv7prod.glsuite.us/GLSuiteWeb/Clients/ALHOB/Public/LicenseeSearch.aspx?CompanyName=Coltus%20Roofing%20%26%20Construction%2C%20LLC) 5 HomeSafe Roofing & Construction [Verify on HBLB](https://alhobv7prod.glsuite.us/GLSuiteWeb/Clients/ALHOB/Public/LicenseeSearch.aspx?CompanyName=HomeSafe%20Roofing%20%26%20Construction) 6 Complete Roofing [Verify on HBLB](https://alhobv7prod.glsuite.us/GLSuiteWeb/Clients/ALHOB/Public/LicenseeSearch.aspx?CompanyName=Complete%20Roofing) 7 Soco Roofing & Restoration [Verify on HBLB](https://alhobv7prod.glsuite.us/GLSuiteWeb/Clients/ALHOB/Public/LicenseeSearch.aspx?CompanyName=Soco%20Roofing%20%26%20Restoration) 8 Apollo Roofing & Gutters [Verify on HBLB](https://alhobv7prod.glsuite.us/GLSuiteWeb/Clients/ALHOB/Public/LicenseeSearch.aspx?CompanyName=Apollo%20Roofing%20%26%20Gutters) Commercial & Large-Scale Work ## Also Verify with the AL General Contractors Board Alabama uses **two separate licensing boards**. HBLB regulates residential home builders. The **Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors (ALBGC)** regulates commercial roofing and any project of $50,000 or more. ### HBLB — Residential Use HBLB to verify roofers performing work on single-family homes and residential properties. [hblb.alabama.gov](https://hblb.alabama.gov/Licensee/LicenseeSearch) ### ALBGC — Commercial / $50K+ Use the General Contractors Board for commercial roofing, multi-family, or any single project of $50,000 or more — Alabama law requires a separate license. [genconbd.alabama.gov](https://genconbd.alabama.gov/default.aspx) **Pro tip:** For a re-roof over $50,000 or any commercial property, check _both_ boards. A contractor must hold the correct license for the scope of your job — residential-only credentials don't cover commercial work, and vice versa. ### Alabama's Two Licensing Authorities **HBLB** ([hblb.alabama.gov](https://hblb.alabama.gov)) licenses residential home builders. The **Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors** ([genconbd.alabama.gov](https://genconbd.alabama.gov/default.aspx)) licenses general contractors for commercial work and projects of $50,000+. Both maintain official licensee directories, complaint forms, and disciplinary records.
