How to read these records

Class A, B, C

The class limits the value of the contracts a contractor may take; Class A has no limit, Class C the lowest. The exact amounts are set by Virginia law and change: check them with the Board for Contractors.

Classifications and specialties

What the license covers. The codes on the state file — RBC residential building, CBC commercial building, HIC home improvement, ELE electrical, PLB plumbing, HVA HVAC, H/H highway/heavy, and about forty specialties — are written out here from the Board's regulation. A code the regulation does not define is shown as is.

Dates

“First certified” is the date the license was first issued; “expires” is the end of the current term. The DPOR refreshes its lists every five business days.

What is not here

E-mail addresses (in the state file, never read here), complaints and disciplinary actions, expired licenses, and tradesman cards, which belong to individuals.
