Licenses and permits in Georgia
Georgia licenses residential and general contractors through the State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors, and plumbers, electricians and HVAC contractors through the Construction Industry Licensing Board. You can check licenses through the Georgia Secretary of State.
Permits for repairs are issued by your city or county, not by Sifixit. Always ask for the license or registration number and proof of insurance before work starts, and get the scope and price in writing.
Home insurance notes for Georgia
Standard homeowners policies do not cover flooding from outside water; that needs separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurer.
Take photos before any cleanup, keep receipts, and call your insurer early. Our water damage insurance claims guide explains the steps.
