Virginia homeowner FAQ
How do I check a contractor in Virginia?
Use the DPOR license lookup. It shows the license class, specialties and any disciplinary history.
What is the Virginia Contractor Transaction Recovery Fund?
It is a fund paid for by licensed contractors that may help homeowners who win a court judgment against a licensed contractor and cannot collect. You must first get a judgment in a Virginia court, and payment is not guaranteed.
What do the Class A, B and C licenses mean?
They set how large a job the contractor can take on, with Class A allowing the biggest projects. Make sure the contractor's class covers your contract amount.
When should I service my AC in Virginia?
In spring, before humid summer weather. Heat pumps should also be checked in fall.
How should coastal Virginia homeowners prepare for storms?
Have a roofer inspect the roof before hurricane season, and keep gutters and drains clear to handle heavy rain.
