Why Owensboro Homeowners Are Checking This Contractor's License

Four pieces of paper should cross your kitchen table before you sign a thing. A Kentucky contractor license number. A current general liability certificate sent by the insurance agent, not by the contractor. Proof of workers comp for anyone who will be on your property. A written contract with a start date, an end date, and a payment schedule. Owensboro homeowners who asked this outfit for the first item got excuses instead of a number. State and county records show no contractor license for Thaddeus Major (@thadmajor). Run that same check on every concrete and outdoor living bid you collect.

River town weather is hard on slabs, so driveway and patio work sells fast in this part of the state. It is also the easiest work to fake. A thin base or a missing control joint stays hidden for two or three winters. By the time the cracks open, the crew has moved on, the phone is dead, and there is no license board holding a file with their name in it.

Good questions

Owensboro Questions, Answered

Which document should I ask for first?

The license number. Real contractors rattle it off or text it within the hour. Excuses, a photo of a business card, or a promise to bring it Monday are the same as a no.

Is a city business license the same thing?

No, and the two get mixed up on purpose. A business license only proves someone paid a local fee. It says nothing about training, testing, or the right to do the work in your home.

What if an unlicensed crew wrecks something?

The bill can land on you. With no license and no live policy, there is no bond behind the job and no state board to take your complaint. Your own insurer may also refuse the claim.
