How we verify
Listings are built by hand from each company's own public website. We do not copy other directories or fire-council contractor lists wholesale.
November 6, 2026 board pass
On November 6, 2026 we checked every listing against Oregon CCB summary/search result pages and Washington L&I Verify detail pages. Oregon results came from CCB search summary pages. Washington results came from L&I Verify detail pages. Status labels on this site reflect what those pages showed that day.
What a listing can show
- License verified — we confirmed an Active board record for the named business (or a clear same-business name variant) and show the board legal name, number, and check date. Browse and search default to this status. A “Show all listings, including unverified” toggle reveals the other published listings, which stay labeled.
- Board status: Expired — the board record exists but is expired / not renewed.
- Board status: Suspended — the board record is suspended (for example, does not meet current L&I requirements).
- Published number listed to another business — a number on the company's website belongs to a differently named business on the board, and name searches for the listing found no record.
- Related board record (not a full match) — we found a probable parent company, DBA-style search hit, or related legal name, but it is not a clean same-name Active match. No verified badge.
- No board record found — we searched the names shown in the notes and found no board record. The listing still comes from the company's public website.
When CCB shows complaint history or an administrative suspension for lack of bond/insurance, we note that fact. A complaint flag is not the same as disciplinary action.
Where we look
- Oregon CCB contractor search: search.ccb.state.or.us/search
- Washington L&I Verify: secure.lni.wa.gov/verify
- Company websites for services offered
What we will not claim
- No quality ratings, star scores, or “best of” lists.
- No guaranteed insurance discounts or coverage outcomes.
- No claim that a contractor is “IBHS certified.” IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home is a homeowner property program; see wildfireprepared.org.
- CWMS (NFPA Certified Wildfire Mitigation Specialist) is a person-level credential. We only add it after verifying a named person with NFPA; otherwise we omit it even if a company mentions the credential.
