Who regulates this trade
New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, Office of Consumer Protection — Home Improvement Contractor Registration
Verify a licence on the official register →Insurance and workers' compensation
$500,000 per occurrence general liability minimum for home improvement contractors registered with the state. Workers' compensation is mandatory for all employers.
Mechanic's lien protection
New Jersey mechanics liens must be filed within 120 days after the last day of work or delivery of materials. The lien remains valid for 2 years from filing but must be enforced through a court action within that period. Unlike many states, New Jersey does not require a preliminary notice, but the lien must be notarized and include a property description verified by the county clerk.
What catches homeowners out in New Jersey
New Jersey requires all home improvement contractors to register with the Division of Consumer Affairs — this is separate from trade-specific licensing. However, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC work require additional trade licenses from the appropriate boards. The state's Consumer Fraud Act provides strong protections for homeowners, allowing you to sue for triple damages if a contractor engages in fraudulent practices. Always verify registration at the NJ Consumer Affairs website before signing a contract.

How often should I have my house professionally cleaned?
For most Trenton homeowners, a professional cleaning every 2–4 weeks maintains a clean and healthy home. Weekly cleaning is recommended for homes with pets, children, or allergy sufferers.
