Purpose-built for NYC home improvement checks

This page searches New York City DCWP Home Improvement Contractor licenses. StateLicense separately covers the statewide NYSDOL public-work contractor registry, which is a registration for covered projects rather than a general-contractor license.

Compare the returned business or legal name, status, dates, and location with the contractor and project you are reviewing.

Use the result responsibly

A matching record does not establish identity, workmanship, insurance, or suitability for a project. Confirm material decisions against the current DCWP source record.

  • Confirm the business identity and license number.
  • Check status and expiration for the project period.
  • Send uncertain or adverse results to a person for review.
