Wall of Shame: Unlicensed Home Improvement Contractors

A person or business must have a Home Improvement Contractor license to do work that costs more than $200 to any residential building in NYC. Home improvement work includes remodeling or repairs. It does not include new home construction, plumbing, or purely electrical work. To protect your home and money, NEVER use an unlicensed home improvement contractor. Read more consumer protection tips.

Below is the Wall of Shame, a list of all home improvement businesses that received a violation for operating without a DCWP license within the last 12 months and remain unlicensed. DCWP received consumer complaints about all of these businesses, so avoid hiring them or any unlicensed contractor. The list is in alphabetical order.
