Are plumbing contractors in North Charleston licensed and insured?
Contractor licensing in South Carolina runs through the South Carolina LLR — Contractor's Licensing Board, where you can verify any company's license before hiring. Also confirm liability insurance and ask for proof - reputable North Charleston companies provide it without hesitation.
