Maine homeowner FAQ
Does Maine license general contractors?
Not statewide. Check local requirements with your town code office, and verify trade licenses with the state.
How do I check an electrician or plumber in Maine?
Use the Maine Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation license search. It also covers oil burner technicians.
Are there rules for home construction contracts?
Yes. The Maine Home Construction Contracts Act sets requirements for written contracts on many home construction jobs. Ask for a written contract with the price and payment schedule.
When should I service my heating system?
Schedule oil burner, boiler or heat pump service in late summer or early fall, before heating season.
