Pennsylvania Licensing Overview

  • Contractors are mostly regulated in Pennsylvania on the city or county level.
  • Many of the cities/counties in the state do require exams for their local licenses, but the testing will vary depending on which area you are seeking licensure in.
  • Home improvement contractors are required to register with the state through the Bureau of Consumer Protections, and asbestos/lead removal contractors must be certified by the state through the Dept. of Labor and Industry. Neither process requires an exam.
