Home Improvement Contractor - Licensed Contractors

I want to hire a General Contractor in New Jersey. How can I confirm that his License number is legit?

For that matter how can I confirm his insurance and assure myself that the General Contractor is not a scam artist?

1. Consumer protection branch of the NJ Atty. Generals office.
2. Go to the Better Buisness Bureau and they'll help you, they'll run the #'s if you ask.
3. Call your local pemit office.
4. 2 ways, call ur local building inspection office and ask them to confirm his #. in nc, u can look on the web at nc contractor board web page, so maybe u have one for ur state. ur building inspectors office will have it tho or give u the # at state level to call. lic. gen. contractor
