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.

— How we verify

Where this list comes from

Every listing here holds an active license we pulled from the DC Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (DLCP) — the government body that actually issues them — not from self-reported profiles.

We re-check license status against the board weekly and drop listings whose license lapses or is revoked. You can confirm any license number at the source yourself, and our free lookup guides show you exactly how.

Why ContractorRoster

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.

Washington, DC: Washington, DC licenses general contractors, home-improvement contractors, and pool contractors through DLCP Basic Business Licenses, published as a live open-data feed. Phone and email are not in the license data, so we fill them from public sources; the premise address comes straight from the license record. Firms based outside the District are excluded from these results by default so you see DC-based contractors first.

Use cases

✓Sourcing GC bidders for a multi-property rehab in a market you don't live in
✓Building a sales-territory list for construction insurance, materials, or software
✓Spinning up a vendor shortlist when expanding into a new metro
✓Outreach to ABC/AGC chapter members in a specific county
