Massachusetts Contractor License Lookup
Checked 2026-11-13.
The Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation says it oversees the Home Improvement Contractor program, which registers contractors, takes complaints, runs arbitration, and can pay eligible homeowners up to $25,000 from the Guaranty Fund for unpaid judgments. That dollar cap is the office's figure. Read the current page for who qualifies.
The program page includes a Look Up a Contractor link. We verified the program page. Use the lookup from that page rather than a copied address. Structural work can also involve a construction supervisor license; ask the office which credential the job needs.
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.
