Are addition contractors in Wausau required to be licensed?

Do I need a permit for home addition?

No licensed contractor will begin an addition without pulling permits — and unpermitted additions must be disclosed in any home sale.
How do I verify a Home Addition contractor's license in Wisconsin?
In Wisconsin, contractor licensing is tracked by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). You can look up any contractor's license status directly at https://dsps.wi.gov/Pages/SelfService/LicenseLookUp.aspx. To file a complaint or check for consumer alerts, use the Wisconsin Attorney General's consumer complaint page at https://www.doj.state.wi.us/dls/consumer-protection/file-consumer-complaint. AboveBoardPros runs this same check before listing a contractor, then reviews it on an ongoing basis.
