Why the MHIC license matters, what it protects you from, and how to verify a Maryland contractor. Property Renovators Home Services is licensed and insured in Maryland.
Maryland requires a Home Improvement Contractor (MHIC) license for all home improvement work. An unlicensed contractor performing work above that threshold is violating Maryland law. The homeowner has no licensing board recourse and limited legal remedies if work is defective, incomplete, or causes damage.
Property Renovators Home Services is licensed and insured in Maryland. The license number is on every contract.
