Local plumbers, electricians, roofers and more.
98 local businesses in 17 trades, island first. License details are shown where we could verify them with the state board; check before you hire. Plus what to do in the first ten minutes when something breaks.
Trades are in the order people look them up (plumbers and heating and air first). Within a trade, the island comes first and then nearby towns. A listing is not an endorsement and the order is not a ranking. Verify the license and insurance yourself before you hire, and get more than one quote.
Water leak? Do this first.
Shut off the water
Turn off your home's main water shutoff valve to stop the damage. If you can reach the breaker panel without stepping in water or touching anything wet, turn off the breaker for that area. If you can't, stay clear. Sparking, smoke or fire: call 911.
Call the Town if it's at the street
Town water and sewer repairs: 910-201-8007 (business hours) or 910-278-5595 (after hours). If the problem turns out to be on your side of the meter, the Town may charge a $125 service fee. Describe what you see when you call.
Call a plumber
Leaks inside the home, water heaters and fixtures are the owner's job. Plumbers are listed below, island first.
Check BEMC first
Oak Island's power is Brunswick EMC, not Duke. Check the outage map before you call an electrician: if the whole street is dark, it's theirs.
Plumbers
Leaks, drains, water heaters, repiping. 6 on the island, 6 nearby.

Check the license
In North Carolina, plumbing, HVAC and electrical work, and building jobs of $40,000 or more, need a state-licensed contractor. Locksmiths and pest control companies are licensed too. Look the license up before you sign. Where a card says "checked with" a board, we looked it up on the board's site on the date at the bottom of the page; everything else is unchecked.
NC Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating & Fire Sprinkler Contractors
CAMA permit first
Docks, piers and bulkheads are "development" under the Coastal Area Management Act and need a CAMA permit. Minor permits go through the Town's CAMA officer, 910-201-8047. Ask the Town whether a building permit is needed too.
Businesses are listed from their own websites and licensing-board pages, checked Oct 10, 2026, island first and then by town. Listing order is not a ranking and a listing is not an endorsement. Phone numbers that we could only find in third-party directories are left off. Missing someone? Suggest a contractor.
