The “Why”

Choosing the right license depends on the type of work you want to perform and the scale of your projects. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide:

  • Certified Residential Contractor
    Best for building, remodeling, or repairing one- and two-family homes. Ideal if you plan to focus solely on residential work statewide.

  • Certified Building Contractor
    Allows you to construct and remodel residential and light commercial buildings (up to three stories). A solid option if you want more flexibility than residential alone.

  • Certified General Contractor
    The most comprehensive license. It covers all types of construction, including large commercial buildings, multi-story structures, and complex projects.

  • Certified Roofing Contractor
    Required for anyone looking to specialize in roofing for residential, commercial, or industrial buildings. This license covers everything from installation to repair and is essential for roof-focused businesses.
