In Illinois, general contractors are regulated by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). Before hiring, verify that a contractor holds a valid license by checking the IDFPR's online portal at idfpr.illinois.gov, where you can search individual and entity licenses. The department can also be reached at 1 (888) 473-4858 if you have questions about licensing requirements.

The City of Chicago requires permits for construction work, issued by the Department of Buildings. These permits help ensure work meets safety and code standards. Before a contractor begins, confirm that all required permits have been applied for and will be obtained through the proper channels. You can check permit status and search issued permits through the City of Chicago's Department of Buildings website at chicago.gov.

When interviewing a general contractor, ask to see their license, verify it is active through IDFPR, and discuss their experience with projects similar in scope to yours. Clarify which permits your project requires and confirm the contractor will handle permitting. Ask about their approach to staying on time and on budget, and request references from recent work in the Chicago area.
