Missouri leaves almost all contractor licensing to cities and counties, so Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield and Columbia each have their own rules for you. We build Missouri contractor websites that show the local credentials you hold, then bring calls, Google reviews and booked jobs.
The state's list of licensed professions has one contractor entry, electrical contractors, and even that statewide license is optional. Plumbers, HVAC contractors and general contractors are handled locally. Kansas City wants a business license, a trade qualification and a contractor license before you pull permits, while St. Louis requires a contractor business license, and Springfield tests and certifies the electrical, plumbing, gas and mechanical trades. Your site can say which city licenses you hold, so a homeowner in each of them sees the proof right away.
Whatever you hold in Missouri, a state license, a registration or a city license, we put the number in the footer of every page and on your quote page, matching your Google Business Profile. Customers look you up before they call, and a number they can verify wins the job.
Main agency: Missouri Division of Professional Registration. The Division of Professional Registration's list of licensed professions has no entry for plumbers, HVAC contractors or general and residential contractors, so Missouri cities and counties set those rules.
