Wisconsin ties its dwelling contractor certification to pulling building permits on one- and two-family homes, and the state licenses electrical contractors, master plumbers and HVAC contractors on top of that. We put your credentials on every page of your Wisconsin contractor website, then bring in calls, Google reviews and booked jobs.
If you pull a building permit for a one- or two-family home in Wisconsin, you need the state Dwelling Contractor certification and a Dwelling Contractor Qualifier, and cities like Green Bay check both before they issue the permit. Electrical contractors must print their license number on every bid and contract, and Green Bay also wants electrical contractors licensed in the city. Milwaukee has its own list of contractors who must be licensed to take out permits. A Wisconsin site that shows these credentials plainly saves you a lot of back and forth with homeowners.
Whatever you hold in Wisconsin, 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: Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). The dwelling contractor certification is tied to obtaining a building permit for a one- or two-family dwelling, so a job that needs no building permit does not trigger it.
