no statewide general contractor license (local licensing) is the relevant authority. Kentucky licenses specific trades (electrical, HVAC, plumbing) at the state level through eLicense, but general contracting is not separately licensed statewide.
Licensing threshold: set by the city or county.
For licensed trades, use the Kentucky eLicense search. Check a license here.
Signed a contract at your door and had second thoughts? Federal law (the FTC's Cooling-Off Rule) gives you 3 business days to cancel most door-to-door sales over $25, no reason required - Kentucky follows the same 3-day window for home-solicitation sales.

Winter ice storms (December-February) are the state's most damage-prone weather event, especially for tree work and power-adjacent repairs; spring severe weather follows the regional pattern, March-May.
