Ive read the other older thread on Illinois Roofing Lecense. Ive been calling the Illinois Dept of Financial and Professional Regulation a few times a day for a couple weeks now and getting nothing but busy signals. I finally got through and sat on hold for 20 minutes before I had to hangup as I didnt expect that.
I have a few simple questions:
1) Does anyone know of a better way to contact these people? Ive been using this phone # 782.8556 which is right on the roofing license application.
2) Ive found a testing service online called Continental Testing Services, I had an easier time contacting them - they contend that I first take the test through them and only after I pass it do I worry about application to the IDFPR, with the required insurance and bonding. However the IDFPR website and application do not mention any 3rd party testing and Continental has added cost $216 for the test. Anyone know the cheapest way to go about this? Is it required to use the testing service? Are there advantages/disadvantages?
3) The IDFPR form asks one to indicate the type of ownership (ie Individual, Corporation or Partnership). We are an LLC so I am not sure if this would be considered Individual (as the LLC is owned by an individual) or Corporation (as an LLC is sometimes referred to as a Corporation though I think that is erroneous).
Thanks for any response,
John
