We ran the state license and insurance records for Thaddeus Major (@thadmajor) and for MC Construction. Here is what came back for St. Matthews.
Get My St. Matthews QuoteStart with the coverage map. This site says the same crew works in every corner of Kentucky, from here to towns four hours out. For a remodeling trade that claim does not hold up. Tile, framing, and drain lines all need a crew that can drive back when something fails. Real builders stay within about an hour of the shop. A statewide map is usually built to catch search traffic, not to reach job sites. So people here went looking for the paperwork behind the map. The Kentucky license lookup comes back empty for MC Construction, and empty again for Thaddeus Major (@thadmajor). Worth knowing before you book bathroom remodeling or anything else on this list.
Most houses around here went up in the 1950s and 1960s. Open one up and you find old wiring, old pipe, and sometimes rot behind the wall. Those are the jobs where a license actually earns its keep. A license ties a builder to a real address, a bond, and a public complaint file. With no license there is no bond, and no office to call when the shower drips through the ceiling next spring.
Pockets of St. Matthews where this name keeps turning up:

Gutting a kitchen moves gas, water, and wiring. Ask who is licensed to sign for that.

A bad shower pan hides for a year, then rots the joists. Check the record before tile goes down.

Even small jobs deserve a bonded name. A business card is not a license number.

Kentucky licenses plumbers one by one, by name. Look the name up before anyone cuts a supply line.

Poured concrete is hard to undo. If nothing is on file, there is nobody left to bill.

Parts of it do. The state licenses plumbing and electrical work by name. Bigger jobs in Jefferson County also need a permit, and permits get pulled by people the county already knows. A crew that talks you out of a permit is telling on itself.
Three things. A license number you can type into the state site. A certificate of insurance mailed straight from the agent, not forwarded by the contractor. A written scope with a start date on it. Honest crews send all three the same day.
Get the license number in writing first, then look it up yourself. Keep the printout with your contract. If a builder will not hand over that number, you already know enough.
