Water damage restoration in Arizona
Licensed by: Arizona Registrar of Contractors (repair and rebuild work)
Arizona's official licensing pages do not describe a separate license for water damage restoration or mold remediation. Repairing or rebuilding a damaged home is contracting work, so a company doing that work needs an ROC license unless the job is minor, under $1,000 in total as of 2026, and needs no building permit. Homeowners can check the company's license with the ROC Contractor Search.

Frequently asked questions
Does a handyman need a contractor license in Arizona?
Not always. As of 2026, Arizona law exempts work of a casual or minor nature when the total price, including labor and materials, is less than $1,000. The exemption does not apply if the job requires a local building permit, and unlicensed workers who advertise must include the words not a licensed contractor.
How do I check if an Arizona contractor is licensed?
Use the Arizona Registrar of Contractors Contractor Search. You can search by the contractor's name or license number to see whether the license is active and which classification it covers, such as plumbing, electrical, air conditioning or roofing.
Who licenses pest control companies in Arizona?
The Pest Management Division of the Arizona Department of Agriculture. State law requires any person in the business of pest management to hold a valid business license from the division, and the department offers an online search for business and individual licenses.
