Hiring a home-services pro in Alexandria

Whatever the job is, the way to vet a company in Alexandria is the same. We do not rank anyone. We confirm licenses and hand you the checklist we would use ourselves.

  1. Check the license. Any job of 1,000 dollars or more in Virginia needs a DPOR license. Look the number up on the state lookup and confirm it is active.
  2. Ask for proof of insurance. A license does not prove coverage. Ask for current liability insurance, and workers comp if they run a crew.
  3. Get it in writing. Two or three written quotes for the same scope, so you are comparing like for like.
  4. Talk to recent local customers. Ask for a couple of jobs they finished near Alexandria lately, and call them.

Common questions in Alexandria

Do I need a licensed contractor in Alexandria?

In Virginia, any contracting job of 1,000 dollars or more has to go to a business licensed with the state DPOR Board for Contractors. Under that, no license is required, but a license is still a fair thing to ask for.

How do I check a contractor's license?

Use the Virginia DPOR license lookup. Enter the license number or business name and confirm the status is active. It takes about two minutes and it is the single best thing you can do before hiring.

What does the License Verified mark mean here?

Only that we looked up that company's Virginia contractor license and confirmed it was active on the date shown. It is not a rating, an endorsement, or a promise about their work. You still do your own homework.
