Most states require licensing, or certification to be able to do construction work, with some state's requirements being more stringent than others. Certain states only require licensing for certain trades such as electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, etc. It is best to check with your state to see if your contractor is current on their licensing to save you a headache later.
