Home improvement contractors coordinate and supervise the construction process from the conceptual development stage through final construction, making sure that the project gets completed on time and within budget.
Successfully complete this course and you are prepared to sit for the Maryland Home Improvement License Examination. Home improvement contractors coordinate and supervise the construction process from the conceptual development stage through final construction—making sure that the project gets completed on time and within budget—as well as manage the selection of trade contractors to complete specific phases of the project.
Contractors must be able to read and follow plans, understand regulations, use a variety of tools, and have some math skills to be successful in home improvement. The more trades they are familiar with and the more skills they can offer, the more successful they are in this field.
