The N.C. Licensing Board for General Contractors http://www.nclbgc.net/ number is 919-571-4183. They are a good source to verify contractor limits and status of residential contractors. There are 3 different levels, Limited, Intermediate, and Unlimited that designate the total amount a licensed contractor can build. Most importantly is that although an unlicensed company can contract up to a maximum of $30,000 per project, please ask them, why they are not licensed?

Ask them to have their insurance company send the certificates directly to your home or office.

Longevity is critical since 50% of all remodelers go out of business during their 1st year of operations and 90% don't last the first 5 years.

If not, they are most likely working out of their pickup truck and may not be around later to honor the warranty.

We are a proud member of “The Remodeler’s Council” of Raleigh Wake County Home Builder’s Association as well as the National HBA. We not only adhere to their ethics guidelines but continue to improve in their continuing education programs.

The internet is a great source for company information as well as keeping in constant communication.

If the contractor doesn't measure up, pass him by. A professional contractor will gladly provide such information.
