State · Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation
Illinois makes the roofing license number and the licensed name part of every roofing ad.
“No person licensed under this Act may advertise services regulated by this Act unless that person includes in the advertisement the roofing contractor license number and the licensee's name, as it appears on the license.”
On your website
Put the number in the footer of every page and beside every quote form, under the business name it is issued to. Read every page as an ad: that is the safe reading of these rules.
Service area
The Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN metro: 13 counties in 2 states.
