What must home repair contractors do when doing business in New Jersey?
The Contractors Registration Act requires certain home repair contractors to: • Register with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs annually & pay a fee. • File an amended registration within 20 days after their registration information changes. • Prominently display their registration numbers at their places of business, in all advertisements distributed in New Jersey, on business documents, contracts and correspondence with New Jersey home improvement consumers and on all New Jersey registered commercial vehicles and leased or owned and used by registrants to provide home improvements (except for vehicles leased or rented to customers of registrants by a registrant or any agent or representative thereof). • Prominently state the Division of Consumer Affairs toll-free telephone number for consumers making inquiries regarding contractors on any invoice, contract or correspondence given to a consumer.
