I made a mistake once, hired an unknown company to sand/repaint my deck. Two days work he said. First he shows up, brings the tools and then disappears. Some other dude shows up 3-4 hrs later, sands half of it then disappears around 2PM. I called the guy the 2nd day at 10AM after no one shows up at 8AM. He has no clue why and sends someone else. This dude shows up but says he’ll just finish sanding. He vanishes after done and on the third day the first guy shows up and does the worst paint job ever. And once I gave him the check he asks if I can leave a positive review on Angies or something. Like wtf bro. The audacity….
Bold of you to assume he even has Facebook. Dude probably needed a favor from a friend after his meth dealer beat his few remaining teeth out last month so through some long chain of cousins brothers sisters cousins friends uncles they showed up and did the work then hitchhiked back to the trailer park to load up on meth for the night and raged until the money was gone.
Ask the contractor for the bonded license number or name that will appear on their estimate or contract. If they're not legit they will run away from your knowledge.
If they give you something, call or email the DPOR and provide the info and you'll get what you need. Just Google dpor Virginia.

They just declare bankruptcy, close down, and open a new business under their spouses name anyway.
