Hiring a Licensed Contractor
Hiring the right contractor helps protect your home, investment & peace of mind.
Use the City’s list of licensed contractors to make sure the person or business you hire is approved to work in Hamilton. Being on the list confirms licensing, but it’s still important to do your own research. Review their experience, references and qualifications to make sure they are the right fit for your project.
