Scope, license, and pricing

Make sure every quote includes the same line items and that the contractor and plumber are licensed.

  • Is the contractor's Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) license number current?
  • Is subfloor repair included if needed, or a change order?
  • Are plumbing or valve relocations included, and which Maryland-licensed plumber will pull the permit?
  • Is the Wicomico / Somerset County permit cost included?
  • Is haul-away and disposal included?
  • What's NOT included that often becomes a change order later?

Warranty and workmanship

Manufacturer and labor warranties are different. Both matter.

  • How long is the labor warranty, and is it transferable?
  • What's covered under the materials warranty separately?
  • If something fails in year 3, who do I call?

Frequently asked questions

Is it rude to ask for the MHIC number and the plumber's license?+

No. Both are public record. Maryland requires the MHIC license for home improvement work and a separate license for plumbing. Reputable companies expect the question and provide both numbers without pushback.
