ATTENTION ANYONE WHO DOES WORK AT A RESIDENCE!
Act 1208 of 2011 requires almost anyone doing work at a residence, when the project is $2,000 of more, labor and material, to have a license from the Contractors Licensing Board.
The effective date of this requirement is January 1, 2012.
Starting January 1, 2012 a license will be required. The penalty for performing work at a residence without a license can be up to $400 PER DAY.
Act 1208 applies to almost all construction trades. It applies to everything from a full remodel of a home, to additions, to repairs. If you do work at a house, it probably applies to you!
For information on how to get a license and on who has to have a license, contact: Contractors Licensing Board
