Delaware homeowner FAQ

How do I check a contractor in Delaware?

For electricians, plumbers and HVAC contractors, use the Division of Professional Regulation license verification. For general contractors, confirm they hold an active Delaware business license through the Division of Revenue.

Does Delaware license general contractors?

Not with a trade license. General contractors need a state business license, and your local building department may have its own requirements for permits.

How should beach-area homeowners prepare for storms?

Have roofs, flashing and gutters checked before hurricane season, and make sure sump pumps work if you are in a low-lying area. Salt air also wears on outdoor HVAC units, so rinse coils and schedule regular service.

When is the best time to service my AC?

Spring is ideal, before Delaware's humid summer. A tune-up helps control indoor humidity as well as temperature.

How do I keep pipes from freezing?

Insulate pipes in crawl spaces and garages, and disconnect garden hoses before winter. Shut off and drain outdoor spigots if they are not frost-free.
