A license is only step one
An active license means the state allows this contractor to work. It does not tell you the work will be good, and it is not an endorsement, by the board or by us. Before you sign or pay anything:
Ask for the certificate of insurance. It is a one-page summary from the insurer: who is covered, for what, until when. Check that it names ARTHUR CARRICK, not a different company, and that the dates cover your job. You can call the agent listed on it to confirm the policy is still in force.
Ask who pulls the permits. If the job needs a permit, the contractor should pull it, and it should be issued before work starts. Be wary if they ask you to pull the permit yourself; call your local permit office and ask what that would make you responsible for.
Match the names. The name on this license, the name on the contract, and the name you pay should all be the same. If they differ, ask why before you sign.
Get the license number on the contract. The written contract should show license CH27158.
Watch the deposit. Keep any upfront payment small, pay by check or card so there is a record, and tie the rest to finished stages of the work. Never pay in full before the work is done.
Check the license again right before you sign. Statuses change. This page is a snapshot from 2026-08-25; the official DC lookup shows today.
