License
- Status on the license recordNo license to match: the license file we hold for Columbus, OH covers other trades, and remodel & alteration firms here almost never match it (16 of 635). Ohio licenses electrical, HVAC, hydronics, plumbing and refrigeration contractors only — roofers, remodelers, waterproofers and home builders need no state license — and a licensed firm can file under a different name, so this is a gap in our match, not a finding. Ask for their license number and check it at elicense4.com.ohio.gov.
