The short answer
In Connecticut, the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection's home improvement registration covers trades such as remodeling, painting, and carpentry. Cleaning alone is not one of the listed trades, but if a company also does repairs or finish work, ask for its registration and verify it with DCP.
After a kitchen remodel near East Avenue or a basement finish in West Norwalk, homeowners hiring post-renovation cleaning in Norwalk, CT often ask what credentials to check.
What Connecticut's registration covers
The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection registers home improvement contractors, including carpenters, roofers, remodelers, painters, and others doing work like siding, windows, insulation, and masonry. Registered contractors receive a card with a registration number and expiration date, and you can verify a registration through DCP.
