Hire a licensed contractor

March 31st, 2008

Why check a contractor’s license? The Construction Contractors Board (CCB) believes the best way to a successful home improvement, repair or new home project is to know your contractor. Checking a contractor’s license can tell you:

  • If the contractor is actively licensed, which means they have a surety bond and liability insurance; 
  • If the contractor carries Workers’ Comp Insurance to protect its workers on the project;
  • Breach of contract complaints filed with the CCB in the past seven years.
  • CCB disciplinary actions against business in the pasts seven years.
