Find a licensed gutter installer in Southampton, NY

Who licenses gutter installers in Southampton

• Suffolk licenses gutter work through its home improvement law, which covers any repair or improvement to residential property, unless the contractor falls under an exemption.
• Suffolk's published list of home improvement work leaves gutters off, yet Consumer Affairs calls home improvement a very broad term not limited to that list.
• Southampton requires its own Home Improvement Contractor's License for home improvement work, and its licensing covers every village except the Village of Westhampton Dunes. A builder of a new home needs no town license for now, but the builder's subcontractors must be licensed.
• A Southampton home improvement license is valid for one year. A new application costs $250.00 by cash or check or $257.50 by credit, and an on-time renewal costs $175.00, or $180.25 by credit.
