When Your License is at Risk 

An individual who wishes to perform general contracting work in Hartford will first have to determine the scope of their work, and whether it requires a license.If you wish to work on commercial buildings such as multi-unit condos, healthcare facilities, and office buildings, you must obtain a Major Contractor license. If you wish to work on residential homes, you can either obtain a New Home Construction license or Home Improvement license. You will be limited by the type of license you chose to obtain. However, there are situations where you could lose your license. 

Acting outside of license. Working on projects you are not licensed for could mean loss of license. For example, if you have a Major Construction license and chose to do Home Improvement you run the risk of losing your Major Construction license. 

Failure to pay. A construction related small claims judgment, citation, or arbitration decision could expose you to immediate loss or suspension of your license. 

Negligence or gross negligence. Flaws in buildings that repetitively occur could result in the loss of your license.
