Protect Your Home: Ensure Safe Rebuilding by Hiring Licensed Contractors
Hiring an Unlicensed Contractor Could Be Catastrophic
As the Village of Ruidoso continues to recover and rebuild, residents are reminded of the critical importance of hiring licensed professionals for any construction work or home repairs. The State of New Mexico wants to ensure that all work being done on homes, including installations or repairs of manufactured or mobile homes, is carried out safely and correctly by licensed contractors.
Whether you need a handyman, roofer, electrician, general contractor, plumber, excavator, installer, or repairman, it's crucial to verify that they hold the proper licenses. Unlicensed contractors may offer lower prices, but their work can put your home at risk, leading to costly damage, safety hazards, or delays in the rebuilding process. The consequences of hiring unlicensed workers can be catastrophic, especially in areas recovering from disasters.
To protect yourself and your property, make sure to verify the license of any contractor or repairman before hiring. If you suspect unlicensed activity, you can report it to the Construction Industries Division or the Manufactured Housing Division of the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department (RLD).
