Find a registered contractor in Rhode Island

How licensing works in Rhode Island

Statewide registration; qualifiers at the trade level. Residential and commercial contractors register with the state board; trades are licensed through the Department of Labor and Training.

The term Rhode Island uses for the individual who qualifies a company is registered contractor. Whatever the label, the duty is the same everywhere: the qualifier must actually supervise and have authority over the work and the business affairs the license covers. A license that is merely lent to a company is not a qualifier arrangement and exposes both parties to discipline.
