Hi, Yes any job that exceed $500 requires a licensed contractor to complete the work. It will also give you good piece of mind that your work has been completed by skilled and competent tradesmen.
Yes you would need to hire a General contractor. Bathroom remodels require the expertise of many different trades depending on the size of project; framer, plumber, electrician, tile etc. A great General Contractor will usually have a team of subs that are readily available to meet the professional needs of your project.
Yes, If the work you are doing requires more than one trade (plumber, electrician…) you need a general contractor. Always be sure your tradesmen are licensed and insured.
It is always advised to hire a licensed contractor when starting big project remodels. Not only will it give you peace of mind that the job is being completed to the highest standards but contractors also help elevate problems that could possibly arise during a project. Things like plumbing, electrical, and depending on the age of your home asbestos might become an issue. Without the proper knowledge and experience you could potentially be putting yourself and others at risk.
Yes. Having a licensed & insured contractor always will protect the customers interest. Bathroom renovations require the expertise of many different trades.The general contractor will provide you with professional Subs and a scheduling of your project that will assure the renovation is complete on time.

Yes you do!!!
If do not, you will get what you pay for.
Licenses keep a contractor accountable and you can turn them in if done incorrectly
As a home owner, you can pull all your own permits and do the plumbing and electrical, tile, painting etc on your bathroom remodel.
However, if you are not highly capable in each one of these fields I strongly advise against doing it yourself.
If you are planning a bathroom remodeling, there are so many things that can go wrong if you do not have the right contractor for your bathroom. Understand this, if you have a set budget, you can easily go over it if you do not hire a licensed bathroom contractor that is competent.
Here is how a licensed bathroom remodeling contractor helps you as a homeowner
- stay within budget
- design and organize the project
- Pull right permits, pass inspection
- avoid costly mistakes (flooding, water damage)
- make sure tradesmen do the work properly, will need (electrician, plumbers, drywall, etc)
Its not worth the troubles later. hire a professional.
As it is not mandatory to hire a licensed professional, it is strongly advised to do so. Contractor State License Boards were made to regulate contractors in order to provide a great service to homeowners. If you hire an unlicensed contractor you will possibly save some money on the front end, but will end up paying a lot more on the back end. We always advise a homeowner to hire a licensed professional/contractor to do any type of project exceeding $500 on their home. if you wouldn’t hire a doctor without a an accredited medical degree why would you let someone touch your home without the proper licensing?!
It is strongly recommended to get a licensed contractor for a bathroom remodel. I also strongly recommend getting permits to insure all the work including electrical and plumbing is up to code. There are very strict guidelines to follow. Good Luck!
Would definitely recommend, faulty plumbing or a shower pan done incorrectly can lead to costly water damage or mold.
Good afternoon, if you need a license and you will have more peace of mind that your contractor can do his job without any problems, depending on the state where you live you can review your license number and if it is valid on the internet.
When remodeling a bathroom you have several items to look at :
You have electrical that you need to make sure is grounded.
You have plumbing that requires a licensed plumber.
You have tile work that needs to be installed correctly.
Your bathroom needs to be vented properly which is very important .
If your bathroom is not vented properly this can lead to a mold issue.
It is always better to deal with a licensed contractor than a non licensed person for the safety of your family and well being.
Yes, you do. You want someone that knows what they are doing and are legally allowed to do what they are doing. A bathroom remodeling is no small job and if done wrong will cost you a lot more than you initially wanted to spend. Licenses professional is always the safer bet.
