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.

I said this elsewhere, but this is why you check the bonded status of your contractor before they do work.
Bonded means - they've put up money (or insurance) already with a regulated body in your area to cover this sort of damage.
