What to do before you hire in West Virginia
- Ask for the licence number and check it yourself against West Virginia Contractor Licensing Board (Licensing Section, WV Division of Labor). A contractor who will not give you the number is telling you something.
- The public file for this state does not record suspensions, only expiry dates. A licence can be suspended and still look current on paper, so call the board if the job is large.
- Get the full scope and price in writing before any money changes hands, and never pay the full amount up front.
