Do you need to have a license for home renovation?
If you decide to hire a contractor, do they need to be licensed?
If you’ve spent months, or even years dreaming of a home renovation, you know there’s a lot to think about: budget, plans, sourcing materials, the schedule, and more. This article from Dwell has some useful tips to keep in mind.
It can be tempting to cut corners. While it’s true that a complex renovation project can stretch your budget, it can cost you more if you hire someone who is unlicensed.
Licensed contractors bring protection and accountability to your project because they are insured, bonded, have gone through background checks, and passed a contractor’s exam. Hiring an unlicensed person to do sensitive and potentially dangerous jobs, such as electrical work, can bring an unacceptable level of risk to your project.
Even if you are doing the work yourself, do you want to take the chance that you could make a mistake with the wiring that could cause a fire and destroy your home? Don’t take chances with the safety of your home and your family. Some things in life are too important to take unnecessary risks with. Hire a licensed electrician to do any electrical work involved with a home renovation. You’ll be able to sleep better at night know the job was done right.
