Inspector Licensing now in effect!

Beginning January 1, 2006 no one may conduct a home inspection in New Jersey without a New Jersey Home Inspectors License. Protect yourself, ask your inspector for his license number. Make sure that it is a Home Inspection License, the number will be in the form 24GI000NNN00 (where N is a number).

Inspections performed without a valid license are performed in violation of the law, and leave the customer with little recourse if there is a problem. The person inspecting must hold the license, it is not enough to work for a licensed inspector. Even with insurance, it is likely the insurance will not cover claims for work performed in conflict with the law.

Contractor Registration now required!

Beginning January 1, 2006 residential contractors/ remodelers are required to be registered with the Department of Community Affairs. The registration ensures insurance coverage, and makes it more difficult for contractors to skip and run. Registration applies to anyone who performs any remodeling, altering, painting, repairing, renovating, restoring, moving, demolishing, or modernization of, or making additions to, residential or commercial property.
