Contractor license lookup
There is no national license for remodelers. Pick the state where the house is, open the official search, and read the status before you sign. Links were checked on 2026-11-13.
Verify this with the board or the city before you hire. Rules change, and a city or county can require its own license on top of a state record. This is general information, not legal advice.

What to read on the record
Match the legal business name on the contract, not only the name on the truck. Read whether the status is active and whether the classification covers the work in the bid. A number printed on paper is not the record until the official site shows it.
Insurance is a separate check. Ask for a certificate, then confirm it with the insurer named on the certificate.
Keep the license number with the bid
