   Well, if they're working unlicensed in Oregon, all it takes is a call with some basic details to the Oregon State Contractors Board.
   The enforcement is contracted with the Oregon State police. And they'll respond on weekends....I know of two similar cases in the last year...

   Quit yer bitchin' and get on the phone.

   I did not know the police did that

   Just to be clear, contact the Contractors Board, not the police. IIRC, there are five State Police detectives under contract with the board who investigate these issues. Their results are often listed in the CCB quarterly newsletter.As I understand from a friend, at least one of them is one of those real dedicated types that loves to nail the perps.

   We tried calling but all those ones that are caught are in Portland, They dont come to the coast and if they do its in a week or 2 and the crooks are long gone by then, They canvassed our area 4 years ago but have not seen or heard from them since.

   I noticed advertising on craig's list without license info has caught the ccb's attention too.

   Saw a guy's post about getting nipped!

   I couldn't work without a license--if just for the peace of mind!"Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing..."

   I agree with Notchman, call the BB.
   I am all in favor of the enforcement using the law. I also like the way the BB has the web site set up so that past DBA's are able to be looked at when visiting the site to check on the past history of a contractor. If you can't play by the rules then leave the field.

   a similar thing happened to a friend of mine,
   it was a remodel that started very early and would go on until past dark almost every day
   amid many complaints from several people

   until someone went over to the noisy house during the dark of night on a Saturday, shoved the garden hose into the dryer vent and turned the water on and left it on until late Sunday night,

   If you are working Monday through Friday, how do you know if they aren't working or not?

   Anyways, maybe they only work two days a week: Saturday and Sunday! You're thinking they work seven and they might think you're crazy for working five!
