Absolutely YES! It is illegal in Maryland to perform home improvements without a license. KP Contracting, LLC is licensed with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) and maintains $1 Million in General Liability Insurance.

The MHIC requires a bond from every licensed contractor and so the MHIC provides recourse if the contractor does not resolve workmanship issues or complete the work in a timely manner. If a homeowner chooses to use an unlicensed contractor, they will bear all the consequences of poor workmanship or incomplete work, and they will have little to no recourse legally or with the MHIC. DON’T RISK IT.

Buying for price rather than value. Every contractor has a different business strategy when pricing a job. Some structure their business plan on being the lowest bidder. They are then required to make it up in inferior lumber and staffing / training levels that limit their ability to properly service a customer. At KP Contracting, we started determining the high-quality experience we want every customer to experience. Our pricing strategy then incorporates the material quality, the high-level training and talent of our workers and the staff available to ensure good customer service.

Using a contractor who requires the customer to pull the permit for them.  This should send a huge red flag into the air. There is a high probability that the contractor is asking the customer to pull the permit because there is an issue concerning the status, or possibly even the existence, of their license. A licensed and reputable contractor should take responsibility for pulling the necessary permits.  

Using a contractor that requires the customer to purchase all the materials. This should also put up a huge red flag. This is normally an indication that the contractor does not have the working capital or credit to purchase the materials themselves. It can also indicate that the contractor has too many jobs going or does not have the resources to do the purchasing themselves. This arrangement may on occasion work out, but it is more likely to result in a contractor walking off the job or stringing the customer along as the job takes far longer to complete than it should.

Failing to check out the contractor’s online presence. It is a digital world, and it is nearly impossible for a reputable contractor to hide. If you are unable to find them, that is not a good sign. Reputable contractors will nearly always have an online presence to review.
