Maine does not require a statewide general contractor license — verification leans on entity registration, court records, OSHA citation history, and BBB complaints. Plus any local municipal licensing in your city. Groundcheck cross-checks all of these.
Maine has no statewide general contractor license; electrical and plumbing are licensed at the state level. The Home Construction Contracts Act applies to written contracts over $3,000.
