Why get licensed?

Obtain your license. Work without limits.

Stay on the right side of the law.

Legal protection

  • Avoid civil and criminal penalties that can shut your business down overnight.
  • Start working legally and with full confidence on every job.
  • Home improvement work by unlicensed contractors is rejected by most appraisers, hurting your clients and your reputation.

Get ahead and stay ahead.

Competitive advantage

  • Be ahead of your unlicensed competitors — clients and government agencies prioritize licensed contractors.
  • Don't lose out on business opportunities and contracts that require a valid license.
  • A license is required on all promotional material — advertise freely and professionally with no restrictions.

Credibility & visibility

  • Project a trustworthy and professional impression to current and prospective clients from day one.
