Licensed Contractors – Did You Know?

Hiring a licensed contractor affords you added protections for your project and home that would not be available if you hired an unlicensed contractor?

• You have up to 4 years from the date work was performed to file a complaint with the Board should something go wrong.

• When you file a complaint, you will receive the full investigative services
of the Board. This may result in the contractor being ordered to remedy the
damages or workmanship issues.

• In circumstances where the contractor is not able to correct the issue, you may be eligible for the Board’s Residential Recovery Fund, which is paid into by licensed residential contractors, and may award up to $35,000.

• Additionally, the Board protects homeowners by performing background
checks on all licensed contractors, ensuring they meet strict financial
requirements, and have demonstrated the skills and knowledge necessary to perform in the trade they are working.

• All licensed contractors are required to adhere to all building, labor, and workers’ compensation laws.
