Licensed Dwelling Contractor?

Have you ever wondered what it means to be a Licensed Dwelling Contractor? Or why this credential is important? Here is some basic information about this credential. You can find more information on the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services Website.

What do licensed Dwelling Contractors do differently?

Licensed Dwelling Contractors can represent home owners in the building permit process. They work with municipal inspectors to ensure that designs meet all building codes. From there, they execute the project according to the plans and schedule inspections at designated points in the construction process. As Licensed Dwelling Contractors, we can pull building permits and fully navigate this process for you.

What does it take to be a Licensed Dwelling Contractor?

In the state of Wisconsin, businesses holding a Dwelling Contractor License must:

  1. Have an owner or employee who holds a Dwelling Contractor Qualifier credential - meaning they regularly complete continuing education focused on construction laws and codes, contracts, liability, and risk management

  2. Comply with state laws requiring workers’ compensation and unemployment compensation

  3. Demonstrate Proof of Financial Responsibility - meaning they have adequate bonds or liability insurance in case something goes wrong

Why hire a licensed Dwelling Contractor?

Holding this credential means that your contractor has the knowledge, skills, insurance and legal employment practices to work in this field. It provides homeowners an additional layer of protection and assurance that they are working with a reputable company.
