Connecticut / DCP regulator evidence
Connecticut contractor credentials and decisions
The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) registers home-improvement and new-home contractors and licenses skilled trades. A registration, a person-level trade license, and an administrative decision are different records; none is a statewide count of contractor companies.
Home Improvement Contractor credential rows with DCP status exactly ACTIVE
Separate New Home Construction Contractor credential rows with status ACTIVE
Relevant DCP administrative-decision index rows dated 2022–2026; not a census of all enforcement
Statewide eLicense credential classes
Counts are separate DCP credential-class rows whose printed status is ACTIVE. “Individual” is a person-level record even when its credential class says contractor. “Other” includes corporate and other non-individual holder types, not a deduplicated company census. The separate Home Improvement Salesperson class is not a contractor registration. DCP’s `active` flag also appears on records with other status labels; this table deliberately uses the exact ACTIVE label.
| DCP class as printed | ACTIVE rows | Individual | Other holder types |

| HOME IMPROVEMENT CONTRACTOR | 23,684 | 5,309 | 18,375 |

These classes are never added together. Home Improvement Contractor registration does not authorize separately licensed electrical, plumbing, heating/cooling, or other skilled-trade work. DCP consumer guidance · Official daily-updated credential dataset · Current eLicense verification.
Exact credential lookup
This snapshot stores 28,026 HIC/NHC rows with DCP’s `active` flag, preserving their exact status and credential dates. For skilled trades, use eLicense to verify the exact number; only class-level counts are frozen here. Person names, residential addresses and phone numbers are not republished.
DCP administrative decisions, 2022–2026
The official DCP Legal Administrative Decisions index supplies case number, decision date, respondent, printed credential number and document link. 107 relevant HIC/new-home and construction-trade index rows were captured; all 107 link by exact number to the credential dataset. The index is not a census of every DCP complaint, settlement, penalty or violation. Specific outcomes and findings require reading the linked decision; they are not inferred from the index.

Complaints and guaranty funds
DCP accepts home-improvement complaints; provider-level complaint records and outcomes are NOT_ACQUIRED here. A complaint is not a finding. DCP administers separate Home Improvement and New Home Construction Guaranty Funds for eligible consumers; provider-level payout rows are NOT_ACQUIRED. A fund claim is not automatically an enforcement finding.
