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.

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.
HIC.0615004
No current-flag HIC/NHC snapshot row. This is not proof of no credential; verify current status in DCP eLicense.
1 exact-number administrative-decision index row(s) below. A decision is not a current credential-status check.
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.
| Date | Case | Exact credential | Holder class | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-03 | 2023-646 | HIC.0615004 | HOME IMPROVEMENT CONTRACTOR (INDIVIDUAL) | DCP document |
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.

Trade-class row-level snapshot, a comprehensive enforcement corpus, provider-level complaints and guaranty payments are NOT_ACQUIRED. There are zero name-only adverse joins, new canonical companies, graph writes or claim-eligibility changes. Exact DCP credential identity is kept separate from a canonical company identity.
