The state of Vermont does not offer licenses for contractors working on residential or commercial construction projects.

Richard J., Gravelle currently holds license PM-01957, GB-00818 (Plumber, Gas Installer), which was Active when we last checked.

Contractors are not required by the state to carry general liability or workers compensation insurance. When hiring a contractor for any type of construction or remodeling work, it is always a good idea to only hire contractors with general liability and workers compensation insurance. Request a copy of the insurance certificates for each before any work starts.

The BuildZoom score is based on a number of factors including the contractor's license status, insurance status, verified work history, standing with local consumer interest groups, verified reviews from other BuildZoom users and self-reported feedback from the contractor.
