Check Out Your Contractors
The contractors, handyman and other professionals listed on our home improvement contractors directory, have only been prescreened for a contractor's license, if their state requires one.

There are some states that don't require contractors licenses. Most states allow unlicensed contractors to work as long as the overall cost of the job isn't more than $600.
