Source and coverage

StateLicense downloads the official no-fee Consumer Affairs bulk export for Home Improvement Contractors / Home Improvement Business Contr. Repeated application and registration rows are consolidated by registration number and normalized business identity. Conflicting holder identities on a reused number remain separate and unconfirmed. Active status requires current term dates; expired, suspended, and revoked records remain searchable. A registration does not establish trade qualifications or authorization under another program.
