Home additions always require a building permit. The permit process covers structural plans, foundation, framing, electrical, and final inspections at multiple stages. No licensed contractor will begin an addition without pulling permits — and unpermitted additions must be disclosed in any home sale.
In Missouri, contractor licensing is tracked by the Missouri Division of Professional Registration. You can look up any contractor's license status directly at https://pr.mo.gov/licensee-search.asp. To file a complaint or check for consumer alerts, use the Missouri Attorney General's consumer complaint page at https://app.ago.mo.gov/app/consumercomplaint. AboveBoardPros runs this same check before listing a contractor, then reviews it on an ongoing basis.
