Rhode Island Contractor License Lookup
Checked 2026-11-13.
The Rhode Island Contractors' Registration and Licensing Board says it registers and regulates contractors, and that it also licenses commercial roofers and several other specialties. We verified the board's site. We could not verify a separate search address, so start on the board site and use the consumer search it links.
Read the registration status. A city building permit is 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.
