Connecticut homeowner FAQ
How do I check a home improvement contractor in Connecticut?
Search the contractor on the DCP eLicense lookup. Home improvement contractors must be registered with DCP, and you can confirm the registration is active.
What is the Connecticut Home Improvement Guaranty Fund?
It is a fund run by DCP that may pay homeowners up to $25,000 if they hired a registered home improvement contractor and have a court judgment the contractor cannot pay. It does not cover unregistered contractors, so registration matters.
Do electricians and plumbers need a separate license?
Yes. Trade work like electrical, plumbing and HVAC requires a DCP occupational license, which you can verify on the same eLicense lookup.
How can I prevent ice dams?
Good attic insulation and ventilation keep snow from melting and refreezing at the roof edge. Have gutters cleaned in late fall and a roofer check problem areas before winter.
When should I service my heating system?
Have your furnace or boiler serviced in early fall. Oil heat systems also need a yearly cleaning and filter change.
