Who is on this list

Every business here is an active Washington contractor registered with Labor & Industries under the Floor Covering and Counter Tops specialty, taken from L&I’s own register on September 9, 2026 — not from a sign-up form. Registration means a $15,000 bond and liability insurance on file and a UBI; it is not an exam, and each card shows the bond and the policy the register holds.

Do it yourself

Check any Washington license in two minutes

1. Get the number

Twelve characters, and Washington requires it in every advertisement, bid and contract. A contractor who can’t produce it on the spot has answered the question.

2. Look it up

L&I’s Verify a Contractor, by name, number or UBI. The record shows the bond, the insurance, workers’ comp standing, and any infractions or lawsuits against the bond.

3. Read the bond and the infractions

A bond that is impaired has claims against it. Infractions are public. Neither shows in the registration status, which is “active” either way, so read past it.

Then do the part no registry can: three bids, references from jobs over a year old, and a written contract. Hiring a flooring contractor covers what to ask.

How this list is made

Public records, in the open

Every business here was taken from L&I’s contractor register on September 9, 2026, not from a sign-up form. The verified block on each card comes from the state record and only changes when the record does. A business that wants a correction should correct it with the board; it will flow through on the next build.

If a sponsored position is ever offered, it will be labeled as one, and it can only reorder businesses that already qualify. It cannot put an unlicensed business on this page. That rule is the page.

License status is as of the date shown on each card and can change at any time. The board does not endorse any contractor, and neither does this list — a license means the minimum legal standard was met. Check the current record before you sign anything.
