What does a Vermont roofer license lookup show?

Vermont does not have a statewide roofer license lookup because the state doesn't license roofers at the state level. Vermont does not license roofers at the state level. Residential contractor registration through the Office of Professional Regulation applies to contractors performing over $10,000/year of residential work.

What this means for verification: there's no central database to query for "is this roofer licensed in Vermont." Instead, Vermont verification leans on four sources.

Source 1 — Local jurisdiction. Cities like Burlington, South Burlington, and Rutland often have local building-department registration. Check the city's website.

Source 2 — Secretary of State. Vermont Secretary of State (https://bizfilings.vermont.gov/) shows whether the roofer's business is a registered legal entity in good standing. Dissolved or administratively revoked = red flag.

Source 3 — Court records. Civil court judgments, UCC liens, and mechanics' liens are public record in every Vermont county. A roofer with multiple unsatisfied judgments is a hard stop.

Source 4 — OSHA and BBB. Federal OSHA inspection history is public, and BBB complaints are searchable. These are the strongest substitute trust signals when there's no state license to anchor verification.

Groundcheck (earthmove.io/trust) pulls all four sources into one sourced report under 90 seconds. The contractor is never notified.
