Rhode Island homeowner FAQ
How do I check a contractor in Rhode Island?
Use the registrant search on the Contractors' Registration and Licensing Board website before you hire. Make sure the name on the contract matches the registration.
Do all contractors need to register in Rhode Island?
Yes. Contractors and subcontractors who build or repair structures must register with the board, and registrations are valid for one year.
How should I prepare for coastal storms?
Have roofs, flashing and gutters checked before hurricane and nor'easter season, and trim trees near the house.
When should I service my heating system?
Schedule boiler or furnace service in early fall. Many older Rhode Island homes have oil or gas boilers that need yearly cleaning.
How does salt air affect my home?
Salt air corrodes outdoor AC units, metal flashing and fixtures. Rinse outdoor units and ask contractors about corrosion-resistant materials.
