In Massachusetts a home improvement contractor has to show the state registration number on every contract, permit and advertisement, and that includes your website. Electricians and plumbers answer to their own state boards. We put your credentials on every page, then bring in calls, Google reviews and booked jobs.
Massachusetts registers home improvement contractors through the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, and the law says the registration number goes on every advertisement. Contracts over $1,000 must be in writing, and an advance deposit cannot top one-third of the price unless special-order materials push it higher. Electricians and plumbers are licensed by their own state boards, while Boston, Worcester, Springfield and Cambridge each run their own inspectional offices for permits. Your site should show the right number in the right place and answer the contract and deposit questions before a homeowner has to ask.
Massachusetts law requires a home improvement contractor's registration number on every contract, building permit and advertisement.
"Every contract, building permit and advertisement shall display the contractor's or subcontractor's certificate of registration number."
Whatever you hold in Massachusetts, a state license, a registration or a city license, we put the number in the footer of every page and on your quote page, matching your Google Business Profile. Customers look you up before they call, and a number they can verify wins the job.
