Licenses & Insurance
Insured, bonded, and registered with Washington L&I for the jurisdictions we work — with registration and certificate details available on request.
NorthBank Remodel carries general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and we are registered as a contractor with Washington State Labor & Industries (L&I) — the state agency that registers and regulates contractors in Washington — with an active surety bond on file. We hold and maintain the L&I registration required for the work we perform.
We pull the correct permits for your address, build to current code, and provide our insurance certificates and L&I contractor registration details on request before any project begins. We would rather you verify our credentials than take our word for it.
General Liability Insurance
We carry general liability insurance that protects your property against covered accidents and damage while our crews are working on your home. A current certificate of insurance is available on request before your project begins.
Workers' Compensation
Our crews are covered by workers' compensation, so you are not left exposed if someone is injured while working on your project. Coverage documentation is provided on request.
Registered & Bonded with L&I
Washington requires contractors to register with the Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) and to carry a surety bond. We are a registered, bonded contractor; our L&I contractor registration number is available on request so you can verify us through the state's public lookup.
Documentation on Request
Before work begins, we are glad to provide our insurance certificates and our L&I contractor registration details. We encourage every homeowner to verify a contractor's credentials before hiring.
Hiring a registered, insured contractor is your strongest protection as a homeowner. Here is how our credentials benefit you directly:
Your Property Is Protected
Our general liability coverage is there to handle covered accidental damage to your home during construction — a protection unregistered, uninsured operators cannot offer.
Crews Are Covered
With active workers' compensation, you are not held liable if a crew member is injured while working on your project.
Permits Pulled Properly
We pull the correct building permits for your city or county and build to current code, so inspections pass and the work is legitimate on record.
Everything in Writing
Your scope, price, and change orders are documented, and insurance and registration details are available on request — no vague verbal assurances.
We encourage every homeowner to confirm a contractor's credentials before signing anything. Ask us for our insurance certificate and our L&I registration details, verify them through L&I's free "Verify a Contractor" lookup, and check your city or county's building department for its permitting requirements. We are happy to walk you through all of it.
Are you registered to do remodeling work in Washington?
Yes. Washington requires contractors to register with the Department of Labor & Industries (L&I), and we hold and maintain an active L&I contractor registration for the work we perform. We also pull the correct local permits for your specific address. Our registration number is available on request so you can look us up through the state's public records.
What insurance coverage do you carry?
We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage for our crews. General liability helps protect your property in the event of covered accidental damage during construction, and workers' compensation protects you from liability if a worker is injured on your project. A current certificate of insurance is available on request before work begins.
Do you carry a contractor's bond?
Yes. Washington requires registered contractors to carry a surety bond, and we maintain the bond required for our registration. The bond gives homeowners a defined avenue of recourse under state law. We are glad to confirm our registration and bond details on request.
How do I verify your L&I registration?
Washington makes this easy: the Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) publishes a free "Verify a Contractor" lookup where you can confirm a contractor's registration status, bond, and insurance. Ask us for our registration details and check them against L&I's official records — we want you to verify, not just take our word for it.
Why does it matter if my contractor is registered and insured?
Hiring an unregistered, uninsured contractor puts the risk on you: no coverage if someone is injured on your property, no recourse if work is not to code, and no permits on record. A registered, bonded, insured contractor pulls proper permits, carries coverage that protects your household, and is accountable under Washington law. Verifying credentials up front is one of the simplest ways to protect your investment.
