As a homeowner, can I perform my own work or do I have to hire a contractor?
In order for a homeowner to perform their own work, they must be currently residing in their single family dwelling. If someone else is performing the work, they must be licensed with the State of New Jersey. A general contractor must have a New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor license to perform work on residential properties.
