Plain language summary: NCI is a reference tool built from public records. We are not a licensing authority, not affiliated with any state agency, and not responsible for the quality of work performed by any contractor listed on this site. Always do your own verification before hiring.
NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY STATE AGENCY
The National Contractor Index is an independent, privately operated website. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated in conjunction with any state licensing board, government agency, or regulatory body. References to state licensing agencies, license numbers, and license status are for informational purposes only and are derived from publicly available records.
DATA ACCURACY
Contractor information displayed on the National Contractor Index is sourced from publicly available state licensing databases and updated periodically. However, NCI cannot guarantee that all information is current, accurate, or complete at the time of viewing. License status, contact information, and business details may change between our data update cycles.
Before hiring any contractor, you should independently verify:
- Current license status directly with the issuing state licensing agency
- Insurance and bonding certificates from the contractor directly
- References and prior work history
- Any required permits or additional credentials for your specific project
NO ENDORSEMENT
The appearance of a contractor in the National Contractor Index — whether as a basic listing or as a Verified listing — does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of the contractor’s work quality, reliability, or fitness for any particular project. The NCI Verified badge indicates that a contractor has verified ownership of their listing and confirmed their identity — it is not a quality rating or performance certification.
NO CONTRACTOR-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP
Use of the National Contractor Index does not create a contractor-client relationship between you and any contractor listed on the Site, or between you and NCI. Any agreements, contracts, or work arrangements made between users and contractors are solely between those parties. NCI is not a party to any such arrangements and accepts no responsibility for the outcome of any engagement between a user and a contractor found through this Site.
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY FOR CONTRACTOR ENGAGEMENTS
NCI expressly disclaims all liability for any damages, losses, injuries, or disputes arising from your decision to hire, contact, or engage with any contractor found through the National Contractor Index. This includes but is not limited to property damage, personal injury, financial loss, or disputes over workmanship, payment, or project completion.
EXTERNAL LINKS
The Site may contain links to contractor websites and state licensing agency portals. NCI is not responsible for the content or accuracy of any external websites.
PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
Nothing on the National Contractor Index constitutes legal, financial, or professional advice. For guidance on contractor licensing requirements, contract terms, or project specifications, consult a qualified attorney or construction professional.
