Can a Home Improvement Contractor registrant perform any work without possessing a license?
A. Yes, but the extent and type of work is very limited in nature. Essentially, a person who possesses an HIC registration only would be limited to performing work which is non-structural (such as exterior painting). In most instances, a Home Improvement Contractor would also be required to possess a Construction Supervisor License. It is best to refer to the regulations for each program to understand who is required to register as a home improvement contractor and who is required to be licensed as a construction supervisor. Refer to the main page of this website to access regulations for each program.
