Michigan licenses people who build or alter a residential structure through LARA's residential builder and maintenance-and-alteration program, under Article 24 of Public Act 299 of 1980. Grand Rapids then requires that state license to be registered with the city's Development Center before the contractor pulls permits. Registration is separate from the state license. Ask who is registered with the city, and confirm the state record. This page shows which Grand Rapids roofers AI assistants named most often across answers RecommendRadar ran and stored, how often each appeared, and the sources those answers cited. Being named often isn't proof of workmanship, so compare written estimates.
