Maine Home Services And Local Resources
Maine homeowners should distinguish general contracting from professions regulated by the Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation. Use the appropriate board to check trade credentials and the Attorney General's consumer resources to prepare a construction agreement.
Official Hiring And Project Resources
- Identify the people doing licensed trade work and check their records through Maine's professional-licensing resources.
- Ask the municipality which local approvals apply, especially for shoreline, private-well and septic work.
- For remote or seasonal properties, specify mobilization, delivery, site access, winter protection and responsibility for return visits.
