RenoBinderPennsylvania Contractor License Lookup
Checked 2026-11-13.
The Pennsylvania Attorney General says contractors who perform at least $5,000 worth of home improvements a year must register with that office. The registration page is the source for that figure and for the exceptions it prints. The public search shows active registrations, and both the search and the office say registration is not an endorsement, recommendation, or approval of the contractor.
Search the registration number or the business name. A township or city permit is still separate.

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.
