Questions

How do I check if a contractor is licensed?

Look the registration up on the state's own licensing board. In Washington, SubSub checks L&I's public records for you, including the bond and the insurance on file. For every other state, the state page here names the board and links its lookup.

Is this contractor license check free?

Yes. The records are the state's public data. The full record appears once you enter an email address.
