Yes. Griffith enforces active licensure and insurance requirements. Ask any contractor for their registration number and verify it at the IN state licensing website before signing a contract.
Decks require a building permit in all Midwest jurisdictions. Permit requirements cover structural plans, frost-line compliance, ledger board attachment, and railing height. Unpermitted decks create liability and must be disclosed in any home sale.
In Indiana, contractor licensing is tracked by the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency. You can look up any contractor's license status directly at https://mylicense.in.gov/everification/. To file a complaint or check for consumer alerts, use the Indiana Attorney General's consumer complaint page at https://www.in.gov/attorneygeneral/consumer-protection-division/file-a-complaint/. Where our automated check reaches a state, we run a business-registry check before listing a contractor, and every listing shows what it found.
