About ContractorLicensePro

What we do

ContractorLicensePro is a free license verification tool for homeowners. We pull contractor license data directly from state licensing boards and make it searchable in one place. No signup, no fees, no ads.

Right now we have 975 contractors across 2 states, covering electricians, plumbers, HVAC contractors, roofers, landscapers, and general contractors. We add more states regularly.

Why this exists

State licensing boards already publish contractor data. The problem is that each state has its own website, its own search interface, and its own quirks. Some work well. Some time out. Some require you to know the exact license number before you can search.

We built this tool because checking a contractor's license should take 10 seconds, not 10 minutes. Enter a name or license number, get the full picture - status, disciplinary history, bond, workers' comp.

Where the data comes from

Every record on this site comes from public government data maintained by state licensing boards:

  • California: Contractors State License Board (CSLB) - cslb.ca.gov
  • Texas: Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) - tdlr.texas.gov

We refresh our database regularly from these sources. Each contractor record shows a "Last verified" date so you know how current the data is.

What we show

  • License number, type, and classification
  • Current license status (active, expired, suspended, revoked)
  • Issue and expiration dates
  • Surety bond amount and status
  • Workers' compensation status
  • Disciplinary actions and complaints (where available)
  • Business name, address, and phone

Accuracy and limitations

We do our best to keep data current, but license statuses can change between our updates. A contractor who was active last week might have let their license lapse yesterday.

For the most up-to-date status, we link to the official state board from every contractor page. We show you the snapshot from our last data pull. The state board has the real-time truth.

We also don't show everything. General liability insurance, for example, isn't part of public license records in most states. You should ask contractors for a Certificate of Insurance separately.

If you're a contractor and your information needs updating, the fastest path is to update it with your state licensing board. Our next data refresh will pick up the changes automatically.
