Contractor". The "Specialty Contractor" provides a minimal qualification for anyone
desiring to operate as a tradesman, this includes plumbers, electricians, heating and
air, roofers, carpenters, and most other tradesmen can "register as a Residential
Specialty contractor.
Specialty Contractors with an heating and air specialty are also limited in the type of
work they can legally perform, maximum dollar limit per job and are not licensed for
any type of "commercial work".
