New Hampshire homeowner FAQ
Does New Hampshire license general contractors?
No. There is no state general contractor license, so ask for references, proof of insurance and a written contract. Your town building office can tell you which permits the job needs.
How do I check an electrician or plumber in New Hampshire?
Use the licensee lookup on the OPLC website. Electrical and plumbing work requires a state license.
How can I prevent ice dams?
Improve attic insulation and ventilation so snow does not melt and refreeze at the eaves. Have gutters cleaned in late fall and ask a roofer about ice and water shield.
When should I service my heating system?
Schedule oil, propane or heat pump service in late summer or early fall, before heating season. Oil systems benefit from a yearly cleaning.
How do I protect pipes in a New Hampshire winter?
Insulate pipes in basements and crawl spaces, and never let the house get too cold when you are away. Shut off and drain outdoor spigots before the first freeze.
