When do you need to hire a licensed contractor in Virginia?

Although the state of Kentucky does not require contractors to be licensed, local jurisdictions may have stricter regulations governing licensing.

Your liability risk when hiring a licensed contractor in Virginia

Kentucky does not require contractors to carry general liability or workers' compensation insurance. Regardless, it is advisable to hire contractors with active policies for both forms of insurance. Be sure to request a copy of the insurance certificates for your records.

Financial recourse when hiring a contractor in Virginia

Kentucky does not require contractors to obtain a surety bond. Homeowners can file complaints with the Kentucky Office of the Attorney General's Consumer Protection department.

How is the BuildZoom score calculated?

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.
