Check a license in Alabama
Residential builders and remodelers are licensed by the Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board when a job costs more than $10,000, and residential roofers when a job costs more than $2,500. Commercial work falls under the Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors, and plumbing, electrical and HVAC have their own state boards.

Alabama homeowner FAQ
How do I check a home builder or remodeler's license in Alabama?
Search the contractor on the Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board website. The board covers residential construction and remodeling, so it is the right place to check for home projects.
When does an Alabama contractor need a state license for my home?
The Home Builders Licensure Board requires a license when a residential job costs more than $10,000, and for residential roofing when the job costs more than $2,500. The board encourages homeowners to hire licensees even on smaller jobs.
Who handles commercial or very large projects?
Commercial and industrial work goes through the Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors, which is a separate board from the home builders board.
What should Gulf Coast homeowners in Alabama do before hurricane season?
Have a roofer check shingles, flashing and any loose edges in spring, and clear gutters before storms arrive in summer and fall. After a storm, be wary of door-to-door roofers and confirm their license before signing anything.
When is the best time to service AC in Alabama?
Book an AC tune-up in early spring before the long humid cooling season starts. Coils, refrigerant levels and the condensate drain all work hard in Alabama humidity.
