Why contractor licensing matters

Your remodeling project deserves more than good design. It deserves a contractor who takes professionalism, accountability and homeowner protection seriously.

Qualifications Behind the Work

Maryland requires contractor applicants to document qualifying experience or related education and pass a licensing exam. That gives you a starting point for discussing their qualifications for your project.

Required Liability Insurance

Licensed contractors must maintain liability insurance. This can help address covered claims involving property damage or injuries, subject to the policy’s terms.

Additional Consumer Protections

Maryland provides an MHIC complaint process, and eligible homeowners may seek compensation through its Guaranty Fund for qualifying losses involving licensed contractors.
