Home Improvement for Consumers
Before starting a home improvement project, consumers should thoroughly research their project type, speak with several contractors, and ask for references of similar projects.
In Connecticut, all Home Improvement Contractors, New Home Construction Contractors, and Home Improvement Salespeople must be registered with the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP). To avoid hiring an unqualified individual and/or business, homeowners can verify registration through eLicense, a statewide portal.
Below you will find information on what to know before you hire, what to include in a contract, and how to file a complaint.
