Every legitimate construction contractor in Oregon is licensed by the Construction Contractors Board (CCB). Hiring an unlicensed contractor is one of the easiest ways to lose money on a project. Verifying a license takes two minutes.
The lookup
Go to the Oregon CCB website and use the License Search. Enter the contractor's license number (every legitimate contractor lists it on their truck, their business card, their website, and their quotes) or the business name. The search returns license status, bond information, insurance status, and any complaint history.
What to check
Four things on every verification:
- License is Active (not Expired, Suspended, or Inactive)
- Bond is in place and the bond amount fits the size of your project
- Liability insurance is current
- No unresolved complaints in the last 24 months
