These things are public record. Often the issuer of licenses also requires
insurances, bonds etc. and demands these things be kept up to date to
maintain a valid license. Where I work, all this info is posted at a
county website. Check with your local municipality


I'll do that, probably best before I call them.

Surprisingly enough this doesn't seem to have been asked. Or at least it
was inundated with all the other garbage that Google returns (Google is
fast becoming worthless as a search engine).

If I hire a repairman, would it be rude for me to ask to see his license
and bonding documents if I am in doubt. Especially for something
involving a roof or electrical? My neighbor is the king of hiring fly by
night repair guys who wheel and deal with him, I seriously doubt any of
them are bonded, but if I hired the same guy, I wouldn't know if he was
dishonest or not. I don't hang out with plumbers and electricians or
roofer so I have to take them at face value. So if I hire some guy would
he get all ****y and irritated if I asked him for his info?
