What to do before you hire in District of Columbia

  • Ask for the licence number and check it yourself against Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (DLCP), formerly DCRA. A contractor who will not give you the number is telling you something.
  • Get the full scope and price in writing before any money changes hands, and never pay the full amount up front.
