How do I know if a general contractor is properly licensed in Washington?

Check the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries contractor lookup tool online. Every legitimate general contractor must have a current license number you can verify. Ask for their license number upfront and verify it yourself. Licensed contractors carry proper insurance, understand local building codes, and have accountability through the state licensing board. If a contractor hesitates to provide their license number or tells you to “not worry about permits,” walk away immediately.
Costs vary significantly based on project scope, materials, and current market conditions. Bathroom renovations typically range from $15,000 to $40,000, kitchen remodels from $25,000 to $60,000, and deck construction from $8,000 to $25,000. These ranges reflect quality materials and proper installation by licensed contractors. Be suspicious of estimates significantly below these ranges, as they often indicate corner-cutting, unlicensed work, or surprise costs later. Get detailed written estimates from multiple licensed contractors before deciding.
Timeline depends on project complexity and permit approval speed. Bathroom renovations typically take 2-3 weeks, kitchen remodels 4-6 weeks, and deck construction 1-2 weeks. Add extra time for permit approval, which can take 2-4 weeks in Alderwood Manor. Weather delays are common in the Pacific Northwest, especially for outdoor projects. Reliable contractors build buffer time into schedules and communicate delays immediately. Be wary of contractors promising unrealistic timelines or starting work without proper permits.
Most bathroom and kitchen renovations require building permits, especially when moving plumbing or electrical systems. Deck construction almost always requires permits for structural work and footings. Permit requirements depend on project scope and local building codes. Licensed general contractors handle permit applications, coordinate inspections, and ensure code compliance. Skipping permits might save money upfront but creates problems during home sales and insurance claims. Always insist on proper permits, even for projects where contractors suggest avoiding them.
Ask for current certificates of insurance directly from their insurance company, not copies from the contractor. Verify bonding through the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. Proper coverage includes general liability insurance and workers’ compensation. Call the insurance company to confirm coverage is current and adequate for your project size. Uninsured contractors put your home and finances at risk if accidents occur. Never start work with contractors who can’t provide current, verifiable insurance documentation.
Ask for their current license number, insurance certificates, and recent local references. Find out who will actually be doing the work and if subcontractors are properly licensed. Get detailed written estimates including materials, labor, timeline, and permit costs. Ask about their warranty policy and how they handle problems after completion. Discuss communication expectations and cleanup procedures. Most importantly, ask how they handle cost overruns and change orders. Quality contractors welcome these questions and provide clear, detailed answers without pressure tactics.
