Yes. Gages Lake enforces active licensure and insurance requirements. Ask any contractor for their registration number and verify it at the IL state licensing website before signing a contract.
Bathroom remodels involving plumbing relocation, electrical upgrades, or structural wall changes require a permit in most Midwest municipalities. Cosmetic work (replacing fixtures, tile, or vanities) typically does not. Your licensed contractor will pull and manage all required permits.
In Illinois, contractor licensing is tracked by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). You can look up any contractor's license status directly at https://idfpr.illinois.gov/checklicense.html. To file a complaint or check for consumer alerts, use the Illinois Attorney General's consumer complaint page at https://forms.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/Forms/ConsumerComplaints_ComplaintForm. Where our automated check reaches a state, we run a business-registry check before listing a contractor, and every listing shows what it found.
