Check any company in five minutes
- Find the license number. It's on the van, the estimate, or the bottom of the website. Look it up with Virginia's contractor license lookup. The name and address on the license are the company that answers for the work.
- Look up that name. The Virginia State Corporation Commission's business search shows where the company is registered and the other names it trades under.
- Read the privacy policy. "Our parent company" or "our affiliates" is usually the first place an outside owner shows up.
- Ask. "Who owns the company, and where are they?" A local owner can answer in one sentence.
