Why it’s important to hire a licensed contractor

Sean Baber • November 17, 2021

One of the best things you can do as a homeowner is improve your existing property. This not only allows you to live in a much safer and comfortable home but may even lead to an increase in the value of your home. However, because these projects are so complicated, government entities will require that contractors are properly licensed. Read on to learn why this is such as important detail to pay attention to. 

You Need to Pass Your City Inspection

Visit any city, and you will notice that most of their buildings/homes tend to look the same and may even be spaced out the same distance. This is because they have building codes that they must adhere to. When you are dealing with a non-licensed contractor, you run the risk of violating multiple building codes. City inspectors are likely to both issue you a citation and force you to make expensive changes in order to get your home back up to code. 

Protection Against Damages

A licensed professional contractor will more often than not have the proper business insurance to pay for any damages that may occur during the project. This provides homeowners with peace of mind and confidence that their home renovation budget isn’t going to be suddenly ruined because of an accident. 

Having a licensed contractor onsite provides homeowners with the ability to focus on what they want out of the project instead of having to worry about the smaller, more complicated details. However, that is only possible if your chosen contractor has been thoroughly vetted and confirmed to have an active license.
