Licensed vs. Unlicensed Contractors in Maryland

Maryland requires a Home Improvement Contractor (MHIC) license for all home improvement work. An unlicensed contractor performing home improvement work without a license 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.

What the MHIC License Requires?

  • Passing the Maryland Home Improvement Contractor exam
  • Background check
  • Proof of insurance
  • Registration with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission
  • Ongoing license maintenance and renewal

Why the Credential Matters for the Work?

  • No proof the work meets Maryland's home improvement standard
  • No credential behind the person doing the work in your home
  • No confirmation the person carries the insurance Maryland requires
  • Work done under an invalid contract (unlicensed home improvement work is illegal in Maryland)
  • No documentation that satisfies home inspection requirements for buyers' agents

Frequently Asked Questions

Maryland law requires a Home Improvement Contractor (MHIC) license for all home improvement work. Hiring an unlicensed contractor means the contractor is operating illegally in Maryland. It also means there is no state credential behind the work and no standard it has to meet.
An unlicensed contractor is not held to Maryland's home improvement standard. There is no credential behind the work and no accountability for how it is done. A licensed contractor is trained, carries the MHIC credential, and stands behind the work.
MHIC stands for Maryland Home Improvement Commission. A licensed contractor holds an MHIC number, has passed the state exam, and carries the insurance Maryland requires. Property Renovators Home Services is licensed and insured in Maryland.
Licensing is a floor requirement, not a guarantee of quality. It means the contractor met the state's minimum standards and is legally accountable. A contractor with 10 years in business and 5,700 completed jobs is a different level than someone who just passed the test.
Yes. Work done incorrectly that leads to water damage, structural issues, or failed inspections take far more work to fix than the original job. With no license, there is nobody holding that work accountable.
