Find a licensed general contractor in New York
Every general contractor here holds an active state license, re-verified against the board weekly. Describe your project once. Get matched with licensed pros before you hand over a deposit. Free for homeowners.
Why verification matters
Remodels are where unlicensed contractors do the most damage - deposits taken, work abandoned, no bond to recover from. A state license means there is a real, accountable business behind the bid.

The state board's job ends at the license. Ours starts there.
GC licensing is jurisdiction-heavy: California separates A, B, and B-2; most states roll residential and commercial into one. Cross-checking who's actually active in a given city takes hours. ContractorRoster pulls every active GC license in the area, normalizes the classifications, and adds phone, email, and website for over 95% of records.
New York: New York State licenses essentially no construction trades directly — NYC handles its own. The NYC Department of Buildings licenses general contractors, electrical contractors, master plumbers, and fire-suppression contractors (about 14,800 active), and DCWP licenses about 12,900 Home Improvement Contractors covering residential remodel work. Buffalo runs a separate city roster of 1,100 contractors. Outside NYC and Buffalo, contractor licensing is per-municipality with no statewide roster.
