About Us

A licensed contractor has the know-how, applied background and training necessary to get a contractor’s license. The licensed contractor is primarily responsible for the supervision of an entire construction project. This could be anything from constructing a new office building or property, a room add-on, addition of a second story, landscaping services, home improvement, or getting a job finished that requires a building permit.

This includes full supervision of the work scheduling of the subcontractors and compliance with the building codes. To qualify to become a licensed contractor you have to have the experience and skill set needed to run everyday activities of a construction business, most notably field supervision. Or, you should be represented by another individual with the necessary know-how and experience (e.g. in conducting certified energy audits or green building design of framing), who would be your qualifying person.

Hiring a licensed contractor offers many additional protections to the property owner, especially regarding residential property. First of all, a contractor can not obtain a license without possessing a minimum amount of experience and must pass a business management test. The applicant also may be subjected to a criminal history background check, and must not have any unresolved contracting complaints outstanding.
