Verify Any US Contractor
in 3 Seconds.
There's no easier way to check a contractor's license — until now. BuildProof searches all 50 state databases instantly.

Why This Matters
$17B Lost Every Year
Unlicensed contractors cost US homeowners $17 billion annually in fraud, incomplete work, and legal liability.
50 Different State Websites
Every state has a different licensing board, a different website, a different search format. Nobody has time for that.
Licenses Lapse Without Warning
A contractor's license can expire or get suspended any day. That PDF you received last month tells you nothing about today.
How BuildProof Works
Search
Enter the contractor's name or license number and select their state.
Instant Result
BuildProof checks 2.5M+ government records and returns the live license status in under a second.
Hire with Confidence
See status (Active / Expired / Suspended), expiry date, trade type, and a link to the official state board.
