State Government Web Addresses for Licensing Information, Contractor Search Engines, & Consumer Complaint Forms
Go to these websites to research your rights and information about your contractor and his business and/or corporation. Some states do not require contractors to be licensed. The states that do not have specific trade licensure laws to protect you will have consumer protection laws that could provide you with certain remedies. Look for consumer information with the attorney general’s office. Contractors may be required to have a local license if your state does not have license requirements at the state level.
