Any person or business involved in a home improvement project more than $200 must get a license from the Department of Consumer Affairs to operate legally in New York.
New York City maintains high standards for licensing. To obtain a home improvement license, applicants must pass a written exam.
Licensed contractors in NYC are required to carry workers' compensation insurance.
Licensed contractors contribute $200 to DCA's Trust Fund at the time of application and each time they renew or post a bond. DCA's Trust Fund reimburses homeowners who hired a licensed contractor who subsequently damaged their home and went out of business or left town.
NYC home improvement contractors are required to submit a copy of their fingerprints to the DCA and pass a criminal background check.
The BuildZoom score is based on a number of factors including the contractor's license status, insurance status, verified work history, standing with local consumer interest groups, verified reviews from other BuildZoom users and self-reported feedback from the contractor.
When it comes to major construction work or even minor alterations to your home, hiring the wrong contractor could result in incomplete or defective work. You may even find yourself dealing with huge liability claims. BuildZoom does the homework for you and helps you hire the right contractor.
The NYC Department of Consumer Affairs recommends getting at least three written bids before hiring a contractor. Do not automatically accept the lowest bid - an abnormally low bid may indicate the contractor made a mistake and is not including the same work quoted by their competitors. We've made the bid collection process extremely simple (and free). Just click here to get started.
BuildZoom has one simple purpose: To help you find the perfect contractor for any job, commercial or residential.

07/02/14 Hired Peter for a job last fall which went as well as could be expected considering the weather we experienced early in 2013. Booked him for work in November of 2013 for the following spring for the front of my home and some finishing work in the back yard that we ran out of time on. In early 2014 I contacted him to remind him of our commitment the previous season and asked to be put on the calendar as early as possible. He came out in April, canvassed the areas,

bid the job and accepted a hefty deposit during that visit with a promise for May work and to replace all the plants that didn’t survive the winter. May came and went and when I contacted him with a start date he indicated he was hesitant about doing the job because he was fenced out of the back yard (We had a new fence installed in the fall of 2013 and at no time did he request that the gate be left off pending the work he committed to do in the following spring). He then sent me a text indicating that he doesn’t feel comfortable moving forward with any of the work at this time. Too many red flags. We are swamped busy and we don t have the time to hand dig a patio base. I will drop your deposit off to you tomorrow. Even though I selected pavers for the back yard in April, he was aware of the gate being there, he bid the job and accepted the deposit for a May work time line. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. The refund did not arrive the next day as he indicated, I had to text about the status and a time line for plant replacement, he replied, ASAP I’m sure and wanted to know what the plants were that were dead, as though I am a horticulturalist.... He took 2 weeks to send me a check which was short 1000.00. Yes you read right, One Thousand Dollars! I had to threaten litigation if he did not correct the unpaid balance and replace the items. He stated there is no guarantee on plant material... After threatening litigation, the 1000.00 balance was dropped off at my home, some plants were replaced, even though obviously dead plants were missed and he did nothing with the items he transplanted that were already there when he did the work, and were healthy and thriving prior to being transplanted, and are now dead. A very poor businessman that lacks integrity.
